I’ve been trying to apply a Chamfer to an open profile (a single line actually). Doesn’t seem to matter what depths or offsets I apply it fails to produce a toolpath. Is it only setup to produce a toolpath on a closed shape?
I’m wanting to chamfer the 2 sides shown on the pic.
There may be some operation for this, but I would define the path, but shorten the two sides you do not mean to get the chamfer. Like cut air on the ends.

Thanks Mike, always more than one way to skin a cat. Yeah, I could simply make the rectangle longer by a couple of mm which would effectively give me a “lead-in” and “lead-out”. I sometimes struggle to see outside the square. Great solution.

Ok, by creating a closed shape as advised above I get the chamfer profile to generate a toolpath, but it won’t “climb mill” on the outside. Inside is climb milling but not outside.
can you share the project file? and some screenshots of what you are seeing. This could certainly be a bug.
Right now though chamfer does need a closed shape to know which side of the line to land on.
Hi Joe,
I’ve attached the project file and 2 screenshots showing settings and preview path.
Cheers,
Pete
