A close friend does hand-made pottery and needed some lids for some bento boxes he made. This was a very simple circle cut with a circle pocket inset. I’ll post final pictures once they’re finished. Cut using [WebControl](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/webcontrol-open-beta/8234), [6mm bit from aliexpress] ([https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-6mm-1-4-High-Quality-Carbide-CNC-Router-Bits-One-Single-Flute-End-Mill-Tools/32363528604.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-6mm-1-4-High-Quality-Carbide-CNC-Router-Bits-One-Single-Flute-End-Mill-Tools/32363528604.html)) (these bits aren’t the nicest but they’re cheap!), and an [Amana Tool 6mm collet](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0112TB6T6). Simple design was done in Fusion360.

Is it basically a circle version of this heart shaped box lid?: (Attempting to link to a photo in one of my posts)

Just trying to “see around corners” to get an idea of how the lid works😁!

Yep! Just a circle version of that lid. It was a very simple design. It was a good one to use to teach my friend how to do the gcode output in Fusion360
