    Hello,
    I need your advice because I didn't succeed to slightly rounded and cut at the same time the sides of a plate.
    When I do it, the size of the cut is a little bit smaller than asked.
    The thickness of the plate is 3mm and I use the CMT 765.402.11 router bit (Fraises profilées | CMT Orange Tools).
    Here are my settings in OB Cam.

    Thank you.

    Post a pic of the result please?

    Your screenshot shows a 10mm endmill diameter entered. Is that correct? Wouldnt you want the offset from drawing to be the thinnest section of the bit?

    Peter,
    Your answer lets me think that indeed I made a mistake with the diameter ;)
    I'll test it tomorrow.
    Thank you
