Thanks for slowing the pace down a bit compared to your previous tutorials. Much easier to follow. Headed over to your web site now.

@JohnHoranzy Жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing your expertise! Finally moving from 3D Printing with F360 to milling and CAM. I hand codded G-Code back in the 90s for my converted mini mill. Hand coding still seems simpler than learning the new software but Adaptive tool paths are the only way to cut metal with the high speed spindles on todays gantry routers.

Getting into CNC machining for custom patches. I've been tinkering with fusion 360 and was confused why when I selected the model floor it would cut through all my other designs. This video has cleared up 80% of my confusion in fusion. Thank you so much for this video...

I am a complete noob on this and find his information very informative and valuable. Fusion 360, however, not much so as I find it is locked and I cannot make the settings he is here. Now, it is not like I paid for the SW since I am using the freebie version, but this makes it pointless to learn now.

Tried this entire video on a simple program, but when running the program on my new SYIL X7, offset is set on top of the material in G54, but somehow my facemill, takes NO material during facing off. Haven't run the entire program yet, only because I'm very careful trying to do first cuts on my brand new machine. :) But why does it take any material during facing?

Hey , melted chip is because no inner cooling or more then 2 spiral on machine with 10000 rpm . Of course feed per edge is also to small . You have to get rid off heat in chip . This is a main rule in milling processes . Heat mainly goes to chip 70 % depends material , but , stainless steel is common example .

I couldn't help noticing you recommended setting depth of cut to 200% of tool diameter. Doing so will ultimately cause you to wear out the bottom 200% of your endmill. One of the big advantages that I saw when High Speed machining became available, was the ability to use the full length of the cutter. You just have to adjust the feed rate and amount of engagement. I've never used anything as aggressive as 20% unless it was a stub length endmill with a fairly shallow depth of cut. I usually run about 5-10% engagement, depending on how tiny or robust the endmill is; then crank the feed rate for efficiency.

Can I use this for Fusion 360 or Mastercam or would I need to get a gaming laptop or PC? I'm currently looking get into college & get certification in Machine Technology but before I head in that route I want try this out see if it works. Im 24 years old been working machine shop 6 years 2 recent ones been doing Set/ups so I think I'm ready for next step. Any input would help out, Thanks again ✌

Great thank. Actually your next video that pops up kind of covers it ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ2SqJd72ranj2w.html ) but it does a top and a side. and you seem to be able to use "model top" even though the model is on its side. With my newby experience and trying to do a top to bottom flip, my heights got messed up and the tool plunged to full depth as it travelled to start the first cut. I managed to fix it but not sure I did it in an ideal way so look forward to your video.

I'm assuming you have figured this out, but for those wondering, you would do almost what he did, but the opposite and use the pocket tool and have it cut down 1 thousandth of an inch or so with your finishing tool.
