Is a rounded edge frame possible?

#1

Hello! I’m trying to carve frames for some artwork on my XCarve that have a rounded edge and I’m not sure how to go about doing it. Which end mill can I use to get this effect? This picture is what I’m going for except out of one piece of wood. Any ideas?

Playing with the recently available SuperGradiant app in Easel might fit the bill.

Also easy enough to do in Fusion360, once you have the hang of it - but there is a learning curve.

theoretically, you could achieve this as well with roundover bits if you really wanted to.

I would machine out the shape, in this case your circle, then use a router table and suitable bit to achieve this profile

I believe the super gradient app will do what I need before I can take the time to learn Fusion360. Thank you so much :pray:
