Explaining how to make toolpaths and exporting them as gcodes from Autodesk Fusion360. This makes it possible to use the g code files in other controller software like the Universal G-code Sender (UGS)
In the video I say that I use 1000mm/second, this should be mm/minute! :)

On a side note, I tried using this procedure on several 6 mmm holes with a 3 mm countersink. After about a dozen attempts I was successful. I initially tried doing the 6mm hole and the 3mm countersink for all the holes in a single tool path but I ran into issues. I broke it up into 2 separate tool paths (1 for the 6mm holes, and the second for the 3mm countersink) it worked perfect.

Thanks, I've been using CNC for over 30 years but need to upgrade my software, my program at the moment just 'ring fences' areas to machine in 3D but wanted to check if Fusion allows you to select individual surfaces which of course it does, this will allow me to cut down on machining everything again and again with progressively smaller cutters.

Great video and thanks a lot. I'm having one problem though. How do you align the starting point in the tool path with the machine? I create the origin in 'Stock box point' to the top left front corner, select the same spot on my CNC software (Grglcontrol Candle) and the tool always does a little 'walk' before starting the job. (if interested read below) I can 'work around it by milling some polystyrene to see where the stock should go but I'd rather understand how to align the starting point with the toolpath and the stock. I've got a small 3018 'Woodpecker' machine btw.

@WillysGarageNorway 4 жыл бұрын

If you have set your origin (zero-point) in fusion like you mentioned, it should be where your machine starts the toolpath. But if you have set some kind of zero-probe option in candle(I am not familiar to that program) there could be a pre determend offsett from your set zero point (origin point) I would check over the preferences in candle software and make sure there are no offset sett to any of the axis. Let me know how it goes👍

In the first banner in the toolpath settings, you can click on "tool" to select witch tool you want to use. When you ate inside the tool liberary you most likley have to make yourself a new tool. This is done by clicking the pluss icon. Then you can make a new tool, flatt end, v bit, ball nose and input your tools info. Good luck :)
