Wondering how you guys would go about cutting this aluminum mold. I am confident with the straight end mill cuts, but when it comes to the round over, I wasn't sure what to use. These molds are roughly 36" in length. Would you just run a ball nose cutter on a 3d toolpath for this part?

Thanks,
Marc
