How to mill a bowl pocket

[Bernd]

I know you don't have a lathe, but this may give you some idea of how to make tooling to do what you want.

This is a LINK reply #27 to making a tool to cut such a bowl.

Hope this helps.

If i was giong to do the job, first i would roughly cut small steps leaving ecess material. Then machien and form a 3in diameter ball nose tool and cut some cutting angles with the slitting saw etc. Then gently as posssible with low rpm i would drill and form the hole. I think that the most important part is to make a good cutting forming tool.
