This is a quick tutorial that covers using bevels on a cutter object to make stepped cuts. It’s just something to add variety to a typical boolean cut.
If you watch the video, it advises applying the solidify modifier before marking the cutter edges. That’s not exactly necessary. You can mark edges of an object a with a live solidify modifier when the ‘On Cage’ option is selected in the modifier. The results are a little different, so try it and see.
Hope this is useful.
