Need help making a groove.

[jaustin]

Where the white circle is I need to make a round bottom groove about 1/2" wide x 1/8-3/16 deep.

I tried using the depth profile and it doesn't make it all around or it tapers around.


thanks for the help

Do you have a 1/2" ball nose bit?

Have you tried applying a 1/2 inch Ball Nose Bit?

[jaustin]

don't have a 1/2 ball nose bit?

will a 1/2 shank bit from the woodworking store work or do I need a carvewright one?

[jaustin]

I do have a 1/4 in shank and a carvetight broken bit and holder?

but no press to press them out with

If you have a split collet the 1/4 inch shank, from LHR, will work.

If you get a bit somewhere else, make sure it is has Carbide cutters.

Just a router bit from woodcraft.

Trying not spend any more money right now if I don't need to.

l Figured out, going with just a 3/16 groove.
should be good enough for what i need it for.

Highlight the line/circle, click on the Bit Icon, and select the bit and depth you wish.
