Drill Bit Cut

Hello Everyone,

I am drawing an adjustable drill stop. I have basically chamfered a cylinder to create a point. I know what the sweep profile looks like, I just cannot seem to angle the plane to be tangent with the chamfer. Being as I am on a school computer, I am unable to attach a picture or a file (I have tried). Any suggestions?

Make one of your origin planes visable

select make workplane button from ribbon

select face of chamfer

Right Click and choose make point

select edge of chamfer and click

select edge of visible worokplane and click

You will now have a workplane tangent to the chamfer and perpendicular to the origin plane you used.

This was written for AutoCAD - but the process is similar http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/content/CAD238/AutoCAD%202007%20Tutorial%2010.pdf

Zip and attach your file here if you can't figure it out.

figured it out! I did not need an angled plane. I made a horizontal profile of the cuts and used the coil-cut command to take out the material. Thanks for the help!

Actually, you do - if you want to do it right. If you are just making a pretty picture, then you should be OK.
