    Machining weird fillets

    Hey guys, I'm excited to be writing my first post.

    I am working on a wooden tray and I have some weird fillets that I am wanting to machine. The fillets are highlighted in the attached image. If anyone could let me know the best operation and possible tools to use here I would greatly appreciate it.

    I have a few bits which might work:
    - 1/64 diameter tapered angle ball nose
    - 1/32 diameter tapered angle ball nose
    - 1/16 diameter tapered angle ball nose
    - 1/8 radius ball nose

    Thanks!

    You might try a 3D 'morphed spiral' and the 1/8 bit.

    Thank you! 3D Morph with "Tool outside boundary" and "Touch" (with the faces selected) seems to do a great job of removing the necessary material. Much appreciated.
