I’m trying to use a 5/32 roman ogee chamfering bit. The issue is it plunges way too deep doing what I’m doing and I’m not sure why.
The box says it has a diameter of 1 1/16" or 26.98 mm. I measure the tip offset with calipers to get 16.5 mm.
This is how I think it should get plugged into the tool settings
All I want to do is basically do a full depth chamfer to get the edge which should be close to a 13 mm chamfer. To test, just did a 2" rectangle with 1/4" bit then Roman as the chamfer tool.
So why is it plunging down to 33 mm? Seems like it should only go down half the tool height to get to 13 mm, definitely not more than the tool height.
Estlcam is the software
