    How to machine an outside fillet edge?

    I am using fusion360 and have an 1/8th inch fillet on the outside edge to top edge of the part. I don't have a round-over bit and am hoping to step the edge of this and sand it smooth (wood). I am having trouble finding a good way to do this. I have tried to scallop it and it doesn't work that well.

    A 3D contour using only the touch/avoid surfaces selection, no other selections required I.e contour profiles or model, selecting the edge with the touch/avoid selection and ticking touch surface checkbox using a ball nose may do it.

    This is only a guess tho as it would be my first approach without a round over bit.

    Your reply didn't load before I wrote mine. I may try your way and see. The biggest issue I had with using a ball nose is that it scooped instead of cupped too much.

    For the cost of a router bit, get a 1/8 corner rounding bit.
