Need Help Installing Groove In A Contour 2

[BrittToolEngineer]

Greetings:

There is a PowerPoint picture attached to help explain what is needed. Basically, we have a sheet metal part sitting on a plate that matches the contour of the part. I need to install a groove around the perimeter of the part, starting at the edge of part and is .25" wide and deep enough to expose a vertical wall and using a .25" ball tip cutting tool so the bottom is a radius. It also needs to follow the consistent depth around the perimeter with respect to the contour surface. I've tried a few methods, but failing each time. I'm hoping to get some ideas on how to do this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can you post the parasolids of the parts ?

What version of NX are you using?
Attached is an NX 10 part with one potential solution.

Jerry,

I just had an engineer here on site show me how to do this. Thank you for the reply.

I am using NX11. I will look at the example and compare.

Thanks again for the reply.

Would using swept Volume work?

Cowski,

The example you have is exactly what I was doing. Thank you so much. This is different than I was just shown, but much cleaner. Thanks again, much appreciated.
