This isn't as much of a CNC question but more of a tool shape and positioning question. http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/SpindleMotorPulley-3.jpg
I'm having trouble getting past a certain depth while trying to cut the smaller pulley. The tool holder keeps getting in the way and with the compound set at 17 degrees it's difficult to follow the inner contour as shown in the 3D print sample. A 1/4" tool bit projects too far. I wonder if grinding a 3/8" tool bit so it can sit at an angle away from the big pulley face but still track the inside face. And not hit the other face. Total depth is 0.55" and about 0.3" wide at the bottom. Perhaps someone with more experience can post a sketch of a tool shape that would solve my problem?
