You can use one of the 3 look up tables depending on if the chamfer tool is 90, 60, or 45 deg.

I've not tried this out but I think it is OK. Please check on a scrap piece first (!).

Any errors spotted by anyone let me know . . .

Yes, that explains it a lot clearer mate I should also have said that I use cambam for my toolpaths (not mach3 as I said in my previous post) like many, I just can`t get to grips with fusion 360 cause it always seems to mess up somewhere.
