I have a project where I need to cut a radius on the mill that is around R600, through an angle of maybe 10 degrees. The exact value does not matter as it is mainly an aesthetic thing. Way too big for my rotary table.
I did think of making up a sector that I could anchor on one end of the mill table (for a pivot location) and then feed the part into a cutter with a worm or maybe a cable device.

If anyone has seen large radii cut on mills (and can say how it was done) or has any bright ideas on how it could be done (especially if it means a device that will allow different radii to be cut through adjustment), I would be keen to know.
