I always chamfered nuts & other polygons by sketching a suitable triangle then revolve cutting about the axis. Ok but a bit slow. New method convert the inscribed polygon defining circle in a new sketch, cut extrude,flip side to cut, draft angle 60 and your done.

I do the same with 2 minor variations
Instead of converting edges I use the inscribed circle and uncheck the construction line property, I then extrude using contour selection and share the sketch
and
before doing the cut I make a plane at the midpoint of one of the extruded edges. Then after making the cut Mirror it over the plane and both sides are done.

I also do the mirror thing, but not so fond of sharing sketches.
