Stephen--------------Grinding the profile is actually a bit of a challenge if coumpound curves are involved------"crush dressing" the grinding wheel using a hardened "crush dresser" works pretty well, the crush dresser would be lathe turned to the profile desired-----------turning the "cherry profile" on a cnc lathe is a cakewalk--if the lathe will track a mastercam generated tool path !!!!

cutting the reliefs on the cherry profile is again a pain in the neck-----------a "d" profile cutter is pretty easy and then it can be used in the cnc mill with the appropriate cutter path----again cutting the releif angles on coumpound curved shape is a pain
