Cutting a Groove in a cylinder

Cutting a Groove in a cylinder

Cutting a Groove in a cylinder

(OP)
Hello all.

I need to cut out this section, and I think I need to use revolve cut.  Here is a picture.  Can someone tell me how to cut out this section along the interior of this wall?

Can you tell us the software you are using?

RE: Cutting a Groove in a cylinder

Yeah, definitely SolidWorks. You can tell by the shadow below the piece.

I would cut the circular channel in first by revolving the cut profile, then add the slots. Easier than how you have it laid out and probably the way the machinist would do it.

Cockroach
