"Sinking a chair seat profile into a block of wood" - Modeling

Thank you for that formula. Excellent.

Trying to imagine using a roundover bit to finish a surface…not a pretty sight.

Sorry Tod…just checking:

If I plug in a .5 bit
Radius = .25
2*SQRT((.25^2)-((.25-.0001)^2))

I get 0.014140721
not close to .045

What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you’re using a scallop height of 1/10,000 instead of 1/1000th
