    Machining an odd shaped steep fillet


    Trying to figure out a way to machine the long fillet on the top. It gets steep toward the right. Tried to do it with 3d contour from the top but I can't get it to follow the boundary. The inside radius toward the bottom is 1/8". Was doing the 3d contour with a 1/8" ball mill.



    What is the best way to do this?

    Try using avoid surfaces, that would keep the tool path off the surfaces you don't want it on.

    I find not selecting a boundary, only ticking touch surface and selecting fillet works.
