Help getting a profile of an angled curved nut/sweep or revolve?

Hello,

Sorry I'm really new to Fusion. I've been playing and googling this for a couple hours.

Basically what I'm trying to do, is get a smooth version of this face so I can stick it in another body. I kind of want to get this face to spin around the nut, so it's profile makes a smooth curve.

I've tried sweep, revolve, etc, a lot of sketches. But I'm an idiot lol. Please help! This is my first post by the way, any help is much much appreciated! Thanks!

I found one possibility, which is to use a circular pattern, and multiply the body. But it seems this is a very poor method of doing it...

Would really appreciate if someone showed me the "correct" way to do this...

Omg, I think I finally got it. I cut the object in half, and made a small sketch of the profile, which was a lot easier when the body was split. So difficult and so much work for this tiny detail. There's no faster way of doing it?

No need to split the body,

I edited the Sketch 28, then revolved cut a bit more off. both sides at once,

Edit the blue circle to give the size and shape.... to suit.

Quick when you know what to do first time, but you will get there...

File attached...

Might help...

Here is another technique using a simple circle (resulting in conic feature - easy to manufacture).
