try this Create --> Coil.
The choose a flat coil with zero height. In this case you want to use a square cross section and then apply a 2-sided chamfer to the square to make a taper. But maybe you like square? maybe some small fillets. to take the sharp edges off. But the "trick" is the relish you can make a coil with zero elevation gain per turn, kind of like the main spring in an old clock. I just tested this out, take about 2 minutes after you think to try using "coil" On Tue, Aug 7, 2018 at 11:04 AM Bengt Sjölund <beng...@tecno.se> wrote: > Well Chris, I can not find a way to this in Frustration 360 ;) > Give me a hint what commands to use, and yes my mill is sturdy enough to > do the job. > > /Bengt > > > Den 2018-08-07 kl. 19:33, skrev Chris Albertson: > > Why not model it in Fusion 360?
