Hi folks. I am trying to replicate the internal radius for the corners on this piece using Easel but am not having any luck. I am sure there is a simple solution.
Do the following:
- Create your rectangle.
- Create four circles with the desired radius and center one at each corner of the rectangle.
- Select all five pieces and then combine them.
- You should be left with a rectangle that looks like this.
You can then copy that one, resize it, or whatever you want.
Making one as you show would be as simple as the following:
- Make your shape as described above and make a copy of it.
- Set one to be an outline cut and the other to be a pocket cut (make the pocket cut 1 bit size bigger in length & width … this is to prevent onion-skin between the two), align them using the alignment tools, and then bring the outline cut to the front. Pin both items to the workpiece so they do not move.
- Copy the pocket and resize to the outside size of the white raised part. Set depth to Zero. Center it to the other two pieces and pin it.
- Make another copy of the original pocket and resize to the inside dimension of the white raised part. Center it to the other three pieces.
- Put your text or design on top wherever you want.
Maybe something like this … change bit and/or feeds/speeds as necessary …

That’s what I always stress to @NeilFerreri1, its better to teach someone than to do the work for them. Give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, teach a man how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

Or…he will starve because he doesn’t know what to use for bait … 
Some people just need to see it explained and a final project one time; plus, I enjoy doing it.

Something happened about a year ago, I did a file for someone and posted it to the forum. Neil posted a meme with the saying "Give a man a fish…etc. etc. etc. Well someone must have reported it because my Easel file and Neils post was removed. Then Neil sent me an apology letter because he though I may have gotten upset or reported him. It wasn’t me so we poke fun at each other when we can. I also enjoy doing a file every now and then.
