How can I create a tool path with a 3 axis CNC mill to mill out a half circle?

I have this model here.  I also have a 3 axis cnc mill.  What I would like to do is use a ball endmill and create a tool path that will follow right up half circle as shown in the image below.  However, I am not sure how to do this?  Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks

I ended kind of figuring out how to do this... There most likely are better ways but I used a 3d Parallel operation.  I also attached how it turned out with just a bit of sanding.IMG_20181105_220525.jpg
