How would I achieve a locking minor joint in SketchUp using 99-035 freud bit

How would I achieve a locking minor joint in SketchUp using 99-035 freud bit I tried contacting the manufacturer, but they don’t seem to have Any detailed drawings or cut Patterns is there any way to incorporate this into my sketch? 99-035 | Router CNC | Joinery | Lock Miter - Freud Tools

On the page you linked, there is an image of the cutter profile. Download that image, import it into a blank SketchUp file, and then use the tape measure tool to scale the model based on the 3/4" measurement in the picture. Then you can trace the profile and use it with whatever technique you prefer in SketchUp - push-pull, follow me, create a solid cutter component, etc.

Here was an attempt. It doesn’t look right, though.

Use the other image at the left hand side of the web page.

How do I scale this image to 3/4 and Inputted in SketchUp ?

Import the image into an empty SketchUp file. The use the tape measure to go along the 3/4” dimension in the image. When this is done, let go of the mouse and type 3/4” + enter. You will see a dialog asking if you want to scale the whole model. Click on yes. Everything will then be scaled proportionally and you can trace the shape actual size (you may have to zoom extents to see it after scaling).

Much appreciated
