Tip Top

The installation of the base cabinets for the Crescent shaped piece went well.
The cardboard template I previously cut fit relatively well, I made some notes on the template and will adjust the drawing in Enroute to reflect the variances.
With the adjustments made to the drawing it's time to prepare the top for cutting.
I never really went through the process of building a file like this before so this would be a learning process for sure.

This top is intended to be about 1-3/8" thick and have a OGee profile around the exposed edges.  With Enroute I have the ability to design and cut any profile I like and It's not dependent on the shape of the bit.
So I take the shape of the actual top and create a flat relief the thickness of the finished top, Then I draw the shape of the profile for the edge and extrude that profile along a path that I draw on the top.

---

The next step is to tool path the top and the profile. The top is pretty straight forward, then I draw a outline around where the profile is and use that as a mask or guide to tell the software that I only want the bit to cut the detail of the profile without traversing the entire piece. (as this would take many hours of cutting Time) In this screen shot of the tool path each of the purple lines represents a pass of the bit.  this tool path is set up for a 92% overlap which means every pass only cuts 8% of the width of the bit.

Here is the piece still on  the router table / cut.

And a close up of the Ogee edge detail.
Now it's off the table some final sanding and finishing.
