Help In Choosing A Grooving Tool

[mikey]

You know, for a decorative radius like this I would just do it with gravers myself. In the time it takes to read this whole thread I could have done on groove already.

I think I may have some thanks to Billh50.

3/8, 2 flute ball end mill, or 3/8 round nose router bit is what I would use. I use those for lathe tools all the time.

How do you get the fallowing side to cut. I used the end of drills to bore holes bigger but I can't grasps this. I'm only using one side of the drill.

I'm only using one flute of the end mill, you can also use a round nose router bit

That I can understand. I thought you were plunging it.
