FeatureScript request: Corner fillet for CNC machining

edited September 25 in FeatureScript

When machining a part with a CNC mill, sharp corners cannot be milled (due to the diameter of the drill, this actually also holds for lasercutting).

The trick is to create a "deeper" radius with the same size of the drill (slightly larger), see below.

But it's a drag to draw these over and over..

Is there perhaps an existing featurescript to add this to a 3D corner, similar to a fillet? Or perhaps directly in the drawing, but I'd prefer for 3D fillets due to the maintainability of the drawing.

PS, I am aware of the SuperDerived featurescript, and using that in combination with a configurable sketch and extrusions, but that still is a lot of work.

Thanks!

    The Laser Joint custom feature has this feature. Maybe recycle some of that code?

    Have you tried the "corner overcut" FS:

    The "corner overcut" is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

    I didn't know the name, so thanks, als for the Laser Joint tip.
