Hello everyone,
I am doing well with my machine. However a customer just asked for me to make them a set of nesting bowls that match the nautical serving trays i make. I have not ventured into the 3d yet. Looking for someone to help desing the programming to run these.
I would start by drawing them up in profile, in a side/section view to design how they will stack.
Tweak it until you’re happy, then measure the distances for your top view

Thats great information. Thank you. can someone recommend a video on how to configure the setting for carbide?
It would help to have some estimated dimensions or a drawing.
Basically, you need to model the angle in-between two rounded squares.
Start with a rounded rectangle the size of the rim:
Then there will need to be two inset geometries, one which defines the base/angle:
Apply
the second which will describe the angle:
It should then work to select the inside and outside geometries:
and use them to model to the desired height:
Apply:
Then select the intermediate geometry:
and model it to be equal to the desired height:
Apply
Show 3D:
A similar set of geometries should be created to model the interior.
If one sets up the file to use Center-Left and twice the height:
then both bottom and top may be modeled in a single file — copy-pasting the original geometry:
Once an inset is arrived at which defines the inner brim, the balance of insets may be made:
Apply
Apply
Then, then overall stock may be modeled:
Apply
then the interior angle may be modeled:
Then the middle geometry which defines the interior bottom of the bowl is selected:
e
and modeled:
Apply
Show 3D
It should now work to cut the top and bottom of the bowl with suitable workholding as a two-sided job:
Attached as a v8 file:

Note that it will be necessary to ensure that the tool is long enough to allow this design to be cut without the collet hitting the stock.
