Sloped side pocket design

Hello, I’m trying to design and cut a pocket that will be used for coins or keys temporary storage. Like the trays used for storing nails or screws ,I want the front side to be sloped from a depth of 0" down to say 0.5" (just an example) and a run of say 1". Can I draft this in Carbide create?

There is not a specific feature for this.

If you have a V endmill with the correct taper angle that of course would work. It would be a nice application of the ball-nosed w/ taper tooling folks mention (assuming there is one with such a feature)

If you want to do this using a ball-nose tool then it can be done after a fashion, albeit tediously:

Or, one could model it in 3D and cut using Carbide Create Pro

Thanks WillAdams. I know it’s time for me to learn 3D modelling. I’ve just started a trial of Pro to see if it’s capable of designing simple objests like this and easy to learn. I have managed to do some extensive 2D work on the free version. Where should I start? Are there tutorials?

There are the videos at:

and I wrote up a bit at:

and see the links at the end of that page.

If you get stuck, post here or to projects@carbide3d.com and we’ll do our best to walk throug things with you.

Will, the videos on your link https://my.carbide3d.com/#Carbide_Create_Pro are not available. It says “video does not exist”.

There’s apparently a technical issue — we’re looking into it.
