Hi all.
Been a bit stupid today and can't figure out how to program fusion 360 to cut a notch in a peice of 4 x 2 as pictured!

Can anybody tell me what tool path to use please?

Many thanks in advance

Contour, assuming you're laying the board flat on your spoilboard and not on edge. You'll get a rounded inside corner, though, but that's to be expected.

Thanks David for that. When I select 2d contour, it wants to contour the whole piece! I have already got the 4" x 2" wood just need the notch taking out!

Sorry, didn't realize that was the issue. You want to select 'Open' rather than 'Closed' contour.

Edit - looks like you've got it figured out.
