Hi Brett. I decided to add something around turning. It would be nice if there were a bigger percentage of lathe to mill people but I think the ratio is pretty skewed. I'll see what ideas I can up with in the future.

We program at the lathe control panel and when software is used, operators freak out because it looks different from what they are use to. We use canned cycles and simply edit existing programs as needed. But for more complex stuff we'd like to use software of some sort. But again it doest post to what operators are use to seeing so they freak out.

I run into this a lot. CAM software can do a lot of things that wouldn’t be done when writing code by hand, such as the lead ins and lead outs as an example. Have you tried running a part from Fusion? Did the program do what it was supposed to? You can also contact a post editor that can format the output of the code to be more what the operators expect. I know this last part seems crude, but often I tell them to hit the green button.

One thing I would like to know is how to change the rough grooving cycle so it roughs side to side instead of plunging. eg: feed in on the right side of the groove, machine across to the left wall, feed in and machine back to the right wall (rinse and repeat until at depth). Is this possible in Fusion. Thanks

@@MachinedComponents Start a grooving operation. Go to the passes tab. Make sure Roughing Passes is checked. Hover your mouse over the Grooving Pattern dropdown and you will see the option you want listed there with a visual in the tooltip.

I think it has a lot to do with machine usage. I still see a lot of lathes being programmed by hand since profiles are generally fairly simple. I also think there are a lot more mills in the world compared to lathes. That being said, I plan to do more lathe content in the future.

somewhy i dont have any affect on toolpaths by cheking on Tangential extention, it doesnt change the distanse between the part and the starting point in profile roughing and the toolpath falls down at front in the profile finishing. However, if I do same manipulations in original tutorial file, changes do affect, what may be the problem?

Any chance for some content that covers face profiling? Thanks for your efforts, and keep up the good work!

16:26 why didn't you use a derived operation so that the boring tool knew how much material remained? Perhaps you can't follow a drill with a boring tool? I'm never sure why derived is used and sometimes not. And then we have "rest machining" - how does it differ from derived?
@MechanicalAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
Hi Murray. Derived means I want to make a copy of what I just did but change from one machining strategy to a different machining strategy. Rest machining looks at what stock has been removed and what stock is remaining at that point. When I cleared the bore I know the bore is 1 inch in diameter and the drill used was 61/64. So there is about .050 left or .020 left per side. So a derived operation won't know how much material remains. It only knows what selections were used in the previous operation. Hopefully that helps explain it.
@murrayedington3 жыл бұрын
@@MechanicalAdvantage Ah, so at 18:03 you selected rest machining so it knew where the drilled bore was and how much to remove, if I understand correctly. Thanks for taking the time to explain! It starts to make sense now.
@MechanicalAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
Hi Murray. Not in this case. I didn't use rest machining at all because I knew that between the front bore rouging and the drilling operation there wasn't much material left anywhere in the bore of the part from front to back. So the finishing profile didn't need to worry about taking multiple passes or anything like that.

why do we need to put an offset for the inner radii. Cause don't seem to understand the purpose of it. When I tried to put a value, say -0.01. The tool couldn't do the finishing for the drilling leftovers. 18:45
@brybry74103 жыл бұрын
by putting offset -0.05, isnt that the part model id will be smaller of 0.05?
@BrunoSisler3 жыл бұрын
Good day, Is there any example of turning a casted or forged part, that is, the part is not machined out of a round billet, but from a casted or forged part. The roughing will then follow the casting profile and avoid to cut in the air. Hope I've been able to explain myself. Regards, Bruno

The post tells the live tools to fire up if the hole isn’t on the z axis. If you aren’t, let me know and I can do a follow up video.
