Use a 2D profile on a path that is the correct distance from the edge of the panel to get the desired bullnose?
Cheers,

I have a Techno Isel 4896 Servo Router.
I rely almost exclusively on Vectric's Aspire program for my G-Code generation.
I have an opportunity to process a lot of panels that need a bull nose profile.
How would you tool path the profile, so that the z-level is accurate and the depth of cut does not hog too deep into the panels profile, after touching off?
Any help would be appreciated.

If the panels are all the same, make a dedicated vacuum fixture the full size of the panel, to support it. If not supported near the edge, you're depth will vary.
