Chamfer on a nut

[TKall]

I have another question. I am working through JD Mathers tutorials and got stuck on Tutorial 4, Figure 16, adding a .75 mm chamfer. How is that added?

 

Also, JD's tutorials are very helpful. Thank you.

It should say something like Extrude a circle with Taper and then Intersect.

Another option would be to Revolve a triangle and Subtract.

Attach your file here of what you have attempted so far.

I like the first method myself.

 

TK: Montana? Where abouts? I'll be in Bozeman later this year.

JD: Here is what I have done. The tutorial says to add a chamfer to both sides of the nut. I assumed it was referring to the chamfer tool. I have a few more questions about that tutorial I would like to ask. For instance, the small triangular cutting tool...how are the details of that determined, size, position etc.

 

ReMark: Sunny, warm Bozeman. Are you coming to ski?

Looks like you are on the right track from what I can tell from your posted image.

 

Are you going to thread the nut too (not that it matters I suppose)?

 

Ski in July? And here I thought I could wear a tee shirt and shorts! LoL

 

Jeez, I hope its warm and sunny when I do arrive.

 

Won't be in Bozeman but for overnight then it is down to Gardiner. Using that as a base camp for a trip into Yellowstone.

I am going to finish the tutorial, so yes, I want to thread the nut. It's good practice and quite a bit more structured than the trial and error method I have grown accustomed to.

 

Yellowstone in July. By July it should be warm and sunny....in Bozeman. The park may still get some snow but not much and it won't last long.Hopefully there won't be any fires, they have been a real problem out here. Last summer was miserable. Have you been to Yellowstone? If you can break away fro a day or two, Glacier Natl. Park is off the scale. It's a heck of a drive but wow it is beautiful, a lot different than Yellowstone.

[ReMark]

Trial and error will only get you so far. A good tutorial like JDM's really helps to get one's thought process on the right track. Follow through on it.

 

I have never been to Yellowstone. Unfortunately I will only be in the area five days and may not have time to venture over to Glacier National Park. But who knows, things can and sometimes do change. I'll add it to my "to do" list. Thanks for the advice.

I am sure you have heard a million times, bear spray. Don't skimp on the bear spray. Hell, I would even practice with one can so I know what to expect. They also tell hikers to wear little bells and whistles so the bears hear you coming and you don't startle them. It is also a good idea to be able to identify the two main species of bear in Yellowstone by examining the scat(dung). Black bears, the smaller and less aggressive species will have remnants of berries and pine nut in their dung. Grizzly bears, the big ferocious bears that are all over Yellowstone have lots of little bells and whistles in their scat.

We're getting off topic here and I could really continue the conversation but everyone else will think they tuned into the Nature channel. LoL

 

Would you mind if I sent you a private message through the system here at CADTutor?

[TKall]

No, I don't mind.

.... They also tell hikers to wear little bells and whistles ..... Grizzly bears, the big ferocious bears that are all over Yellowstone have lots of little bells and whistles in their scat.

 

Was there back in '07, the only grizzly I saw (mother and 2 cubs) were three specks of dirt on snowbank eventhrough high-power telescope. Never would have known they were they except for the traffic jam and ranger pointing them out.

 

Did see a lot of scat with bells and whistles though!

 

The information on thread forms comes from the Machinery's Handbook.

The actual cut or rolled threads might be a bit different out on the shop floor. (root and crest)
