Hi guys
I'm carving a rectangle 12" x 9" out of a board
that is 20" x 13.25".
Question is, how do I round the corners.
I used the rectangle tool and placed a carved region on it
that is .250 deep. I need to make the corners
1/4" radius.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thx Jeff

Jeff,

If you have a router, after the carving is done, cut the board to size and use a handheld router. There will be less wear and tear on your Carvewright and the handheld is much faster. If you don't have a router, well, then you'll have to wait until somebody comes around that can answer your ?.

Here is a 8.07 MB AVI lesson on Rounded corners that may help you understand the concept. It may be use on a Carved area or Vector cut (it's your choice).

There's something wrong with your URL.
