Filleting, 2½ Axis
Filleting is similar to the Profiling operation. This method creates a fillet by selecting 2D Curve/Polylines or face edges as a region and the toolpath is generated using a Corner Radius Mill. This operation works just as well if the fillet feature is not present on the part simply by adjusting the Location of Cut Geometry to be At Top or At Bottom. Additional cut parameters similar to Profiling are available.
