sweep cut

labautoman — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 02:00:36 GMT

I did a sweep cut. the small triangle on the left started on the left and sweep around to the right. My problem is when I go to manufacture it with a dovetail router bit it see that small triangle and does a sharp turn instead of going straight out of the stock. how do I get rid of the triangle and have the bit go straight out of the stock? Thanks

Here is the file. I need to get rid of the small triangle that is left
from my sweep cut so that when I cut it in manufacturing my router bit goes
straight out. Thanks, Todd

I did it. Below is the file. After I do the sweep cut it leaves a small triangle that when I go to manufacturing and try to get the router to cut it does not go straight through it does a 90 degree turn at he end and does not go straight through.

Thanks, Your first one is more elegant. Maybe above my level. I was trying to extend the sweep, tried dragging the arrow past the end, tried changing the distance to greater than 1, would not work. I now have sketch another line to extend the path. Thanks again,
