Ohhh that timeline reverse and cut the hole in there ... pure gold lol I learned a lot on this one you should do more of these if the opportunity arises.

Dude I’ve been binge watching your videos the last couple of days. Awesome insight, I’m working on the wife to let me get a Langmuir. Thanks for your videos and service to our great country.

I feel like I need to set aside time to watch these videos every year. I forget little tips and tricks when I go a while without using Fusion or Bendtech. Thank you for putting this stuff out there

Great video! To revise the joining bodies when you forget to select create new body, just go in and edit the extrude function on the bottom toolbar for that body and you can change it to "new body" there. No need to edit undo for something like that.

This video is a life saver. Coming from someone who had no experience with design software it has helped me out so much! Waiting on my plasma table to show up any day now!

You make the best videos brother. So much good information

Gold!!! I'm sure I'll watch the video a few times when I start getting into the machine.

Thank you for taking the time to make this step by step video. After watching the video I followed along using Fusion 360 (with many pauses, going back to prior steps, restarting at the beginning..haha!). I appreciate that you took the video through the Manufacturing steps, so many videos I watch end at the Design phase. Thanks again!

Thank you, thank you for this tutorial.

Awesome info. Thanks Dave! We got our table running a week ago and this help a ton!

Can't thank you enough for the great videos. My table is coming in a few weeks and I'm lucky to have your trail to follow.

Great video, easy to follow, and lots of usable information! Thank you!

Love the video. I will probably never have one of these but still liked watching. My favorite thing you said was in a response to another comment...”on the next truck”. Team NTDRacing!!

Thanks for the video. I just got my Langmuir Pro set up and I am still working on learning Fusion 360.

One of the best videos out there for Fusion 360. I learned a TON. 👍

Thank you. I know it’s not much in comparison to the knowledge you share. I have always loved building custom vehicles and just formed a LLC this Father’s Day called Grounded Concepts. As I wrap up my accounting degree, I want to turn my love of fabrication into a respectable source of income by plasma cutting parts for clients and sharing the love of the trade. Your videos have helped tremendously. I am in the process of selling my Tacoma to purchase and invest in a Langmuir XR table. Keep doing what you’re doing- it is absolutely impressive work brother.

I’ve tired to watch a bunch of videos on doing things like this in fusion. But the off-road part made my brain accept it 😅 I pretty much do everything in 2d currently and am getting aggravated converting sketch’s in my head. Thank you!

Great video. I have been using fusion 360 for a couple months now mostly doing design art work and other 2D stuff. After watching this video I have a good grasp on the 3D. I'll definitely be watching again when I start to design some a arms for my can am x3!

Great video!!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

Dave, absolutely the best fusion 360 info for me that I have found. I ordered a langmuir pro and have been learning fusion 360 from many different people on KZfaq. This has been the most informational video that I’ve found. Thanks again! Richard

Always banging out amazing work. One of the most underrated channels on this platform!

Wow,,,,,,,, my table just showed up last week,,,still putting it together and I can't wait to cut something. I just hit the subscribe button and hoping to learn more,,,thanks

Thanks for another great video Dave. Can't wait to receive the Pro

Your channel deserves so much more recognition. You explain things so well and you’re very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I will be applying the things I learned when I start sketching in 3D. I can already see how helpful it’s going to be using 3D instead of just 2D like I’ve been doing. Thank you sir.

Thank you so much, that was exactly what I needed to see and learn. I ordered a Crossfire and dont know how to use Fusion or any CAD for that matter, and its been the principal point of stress in the whole prokject. To be sure, this kind of vido sells machines.. hint, keep helping this guy out Lanmuir, machines are moving becasue of him

Great video for someone who is new to Fusion 360 and learning to design and cut their own parts! We just got our Crossfire Pro and nearly have it set up. Getting a 3D design onto the table was one of the scary things on my list of things to learn and you did a great job in explaining the process. Thank you!!

Thanks for the tutorial! This is a big help

Great video! I needed that one.

Freaking great video! I just started using the software. Very frustrating but getting the hang of it. My table is on back order. So bought a cheap 3d printer to help with the designing. My biggest learning was to save your parts. Also push escape key or you can't do things. Drove me nuts!

Thanks for the videos! Very helpful. I'm struggling to cut the simplest shapes in 2d..

This video was amazing. I have always wanted to design, build and repair my own things. After watching this video I downloaded a free version of fusion360 and will start to learn how to use it. After that who knows what I will do next. Thanks dave.

grate video!! very valuable

In fusion if you hit the s key it will bring short cuts up and you can customize it so you don’t have to go to the top every-time. It makes it a lot faster

Thank you!

Have a look into the assemble tool panel>>rigid joint (on solid tools, where you did most of your work). Makes it super easy to line up parts (like for the part you wanted to bend). Also, I know the video is 5 months old now, but fusion introduced part nesting to simplify arranging things for manufacture. Gotta enable a couple options in settings, but you're better off googling a tutorial than trying to read anything I'll try to explain here. Game changer.

A+ Man!!!! Great video!!!! I can Sketch parts, Extrude and do the G-code and get them burnt out. But struggled with Fusion drawing weldments & such. This gained me many hours of time and frustration, "Simplified Confusion". Oh Yeah adding that Notch to pre-locate your bend line is PRO-TIP

You can right click any of those fields and make your new values default if you use the same thing all the time.

Can you do a video but instead of making the sides separate, can you make the bottom and sides fold?

I appreciate your videos, they're very good. I was wondering though why you didn't use thicker material than 10 gage seeing as how it failed to stand up to the torcher of the baja 1000. I have 50 plus years of fabricating and I'm very impressed with your work and creation.

How did you come up with the diminisions you needed for the build.

Nice video. Here are some modeling techniques for you to incorporation into your workflow. 0. before you start, you might need to add "3 point rectangle to the the toolbar" if its missing 0. set your document setting units, for my 3D printing work I use mm, for my plasma cutting I use inches 0. create a component to work inside of. in this case, you'd created a "swingarm" component. critical if you want to create assemblies later 1. use parameters under modify to set width, length, height, stock thickness, bearing diameter etc 2. create first sketch on different plane so top is top, right is right, etc. 3. draw half of it on a sketch, one outside edge and its nearest rib, extrude using your parameter height, then mirror those bodies using a origin plane as the mirror plane a. add dimensions to your rectangle endpoints using your parameters as distances 4. don't move your parts into a flat plane in the design workspace, do this later 5. in manufacturing workspace, learn to use the "arrange" operation. see kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcuXf9iXqM2ZpJ8.html a. arrange requires components not bodies, in the design workspace, go back design workspace, select all bodies, right click to select "create components from bodies" If you use parameters to set everything, then use dimensions and constraints with your parameters, your can simply change a parameter and your entire design will change automagically. Also, parameters as well as dimensions accept equations. I set my stock thickness parameter to "1/8", then let fusion calculate 0.125. Other tips a. when moving bodies, change the "move type" to 4th icon over (shows point, arrow, point), then select the points on the bodies to move to. b. during the move operation, selecting points is often difficult to hit the corners, move over a the surface to highlight all the corners, then hold down ctrl key to restrict points to only that surface c. you don't have to rollback your history to edit something in the past, just right click on the history icon and select edit d. investigate the 'project' operation when sketching e. you don't have to create a construction line on an axis, make the origin visible, then you can always see the x, y, and z axis and the origin 3 planes. These are 3D modeling items I learned over time. Thanks for the video, glad to see your CFP, torch, Fusion 360 work in action. Your "in the field" video clip set the entire tone of this video. Nice editing, content, audio production here as well.

👍👍100%

How did you learn how to do the 3d drawing for your work. You definitely have some skill.

Where do you order your uniballs, heims, bearings, etc?

Mr Dave, it was very late last night when I watched this Video. So let me write some comments now: - this is so much better than the Langmuir videos. Of course, they mostly go over the tedious parts of the basic setup in order to make the machine cut, but this video goes over something "real", in particular the transition between a 3D design and the flattened representation is SO important, yet most people that own and operate this system are NOT making use of it. It's a shame Langmuir does not have videos like the ones you are making right now. - I was REALLY expecting you to show these parts to be cut on the plasma table and then bent on the press at the end of the video. Come on :D :D :D all theory and no practice today? :D :D :D - about the bent part, if you just make it like that it will not take into account metal stretching on the bend line - why not use Fusion's sheetmetal environment? - the system begs to define a name parameter at least for the thickness of the stock material (modify - change parameters)

Consider a 3D mouse! So much better to work with two hands!

t weld? you mean a fillet weld lol....not the most organized way for later assembly ..fine for simpler things...make them components and break them up that way. 100psi? wow, thats high...my plasma will cut 1/2" easy at 70psi. but good video....

Bro I love this video but you’re so fast
