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. 

Regards

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,
