I'd like to make a bowl or hemispere shaped depression in a piece of
wood or maybe a piece of metal (aluminum or brass). I have never
done this before.
Is a router bit the only way to go or is there a bit for a drill
press (like the large hole bits for clock making) that I can get?
I do not do routing very well; so obviously I'd prefer a wood drill
bit, but I'd like to know in any case. All replies gratefully
acknolwedged.
Depending on the size of the desired hollow, you can do so with a saw,
either radial or table, by turning the blade at an angle to the blade
path and taking very shallow (1/16) and repetitive cuts with just the
edge of the blade teeth. The size and angle of the blade determine
the radius.
