A question for the group:
How do you go about setting the Y and the Z when it comes to using a corner rounding end mill to create a radius?
As an example, say you have a piece of rectangular bar stock that you want to put a 1/8" radius on one of the corners, the length of the part.
How do you determine the height and depth of the cutter in order to have the radius properly centered on the edge and not cut into the sides, or end up with a shallow cut? (Not too high, not too low.)
There has got to be a better way than just "eyeballing" it like I have been doing. :-[
