    Default sweep or extrude tool

    I received this pattern in one of the wood magazine that I get, I think that I need to use the sweep tool for the inside of the handle but I'm at a loss for the outside radius. I am using the import image file, any advice would be welcome.

    Off and running...so glad to see these uses of the suites!! They are powerful tools, once you learn how to use them. I'm embarrassed to say, I don't know much. Not even enough to show you. It takes imagination, but I think there is a practical way to learn this; a logical approach.

    I have done the sweep tool for around the inside of the handle that was easy enough...but the 1/4 chamfer and the 3/8 on the handle elute me, the angle on the 1/4 chamfer has me stumped and the 3/8 on the outside, the 1/8 round over I can do with a sander... I wanted to delete this post ..... It didn't work !!

    I would probably just use the roundover bits from the CW Bit Set to do those...it's faster/cleaner.

    I was trying to do the round over in the 1/2 round over bit and it wasn't turning out the way I thought it would, I used the sweep tool with a .25 radius and I think it come close enough but I would like to learn how it's done in the drawing...
