Re: Hardinge Accuslide Gang Tool Lathe Acorn Conversion
In the past he has made videos addressing these specific questions. I am really surprised no one responded to the chamfering question...but it was fourth of July timeframe and there wasn't much activity. It may be worth a "bump" to see if someone can provide a solution

Suggest starting a NEW thread with Intercon in the subject line and ask your questions. More likely to get answered or noted for the next revision of Intercon.lavrgs wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 11:30 am In the past he has made videos addressing these specific questions.

Many of us would be interested in the Chamfering Intercon question

Re: Hardinge Accuslide Gang Tool Lathe Acorn Conversion
The Intercon chamfer cycle is fairly limited. It only does 45° chamfers. The starting point is like any other Intercon cycle; the current position. In the Chamfer cycle, you can either choose the angle and length, or the end point. Whichever you choose, the other will be calculated for you. I find it just as easy to program using a line move. It has all the same options and works exactly the same way without forcing you into 45° angles.
The only benefit I can think of for the chamfer and radius features is that the description in the "feature tree" might declare the intent more clearly than line and arc.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

I’ve asked more than once.

Marc was very gracious and emailed me some great info. Alas, I do not see a way to do a chamfer in Intercon that includes some roughing. A G1 move straight through the material will crash the tool into the part of there’s much depth of cut at all. It appears the Intercon chamfer page is not really conversational, just a straight move. I still can’t figure out what the values mean. I’ve read the manual. I’ve watched the videos.

Chamfer and Radius do not include any roughing. If you want roughing automatically calculated you will need to use the Profile cycle and create the chamfer/radius with line/arc moves.
