I use it to get parts out of complex assemblies. Fusion is faster and you can make one CAM setup for each part of the assembly. No clutter of different setups for different parts.

In industry prior to probes, a guage block was used for setting Z height accurately.. So, if using a 1" guage block (or "JO"), simply lower the tool to a height where the block cannot slide in between the stock and cutter tip. Now raise the cutter until you can. Just remember that when you go too high THE BLOCK CANNOT BE UNDER THE CUTTER WHEN LOWERING! If it is, and you are dialing in that last couple of tenths in "Z" you WILL BREAK THE CUTTER TIP... in normal conversation I would now say "ask me how I know." Usually guys would have a second 1 inch JO block for this and obviously it is necessary to enter the 1 inch "Z" value as your "Z" height at the machine.

Kevin, this is exactly what i was looking for. The way i ave been working is more complex. Can you also show the process you used for bringing the parts and vices into the file and jointing them. I noticed the parts are still linked but the vices aren’t. Is this important
@MechanicalAdvantage8 күн бұрын
You can look at the videos of how I built the parametric vises. I have videos for both fixed jaw and self centering vises on my channel. The component was linked because I had no intention of editing it in that file. By leaving it linked, any change I made to the original would have propagated to the assembly file. The vises had their link broken because they need to have a unique jaw spacing in the assembly file. When linked (and not using configs), you can't have a jaw opening of one value in the original file and a different jaw opening in the assembly file. Breaking the link allows you to control the value in the assembly file.

I like how you got rid of the "hat" in op 2 with a 3d adaptive and a face mill but why the .1" radial stock to leave? Thank you for another great video!
@MechanicalAdvantage8 күн бұрын
Notice that the value I used was negative -.1 radial. I just did some checking and it didn't make a huge difference. I like to make sure the tool is starting outside the stock. The boundary for the tool path is the stock. By setting a negative radial, I was trying to push the tool away at the start a bit by offsetting the boundary -.1 radial. I just did a check with that value set to 0 and the value at -1. I'll list the start values below. 0 Radial Stock: X= -.05445 Y= -3.7152 -1. Radial Stock X= -.12224 Y= -3.70936

Good video Kevin, I got out something else that is also a useful tool out of the video, which is turning on only the setup which you are looking at and automatically turn off the other setups. It helps when you are doing multiple ops on the same fixture and you don’t end up mixing the two parts.

@murrayedington10 күн бұрын
"Continue rest machining" is a great step forward. Used to have to export the body from the simulation to create the stock for the next op, which was a PITA. Nice to see the process demonstrated! FWIW, you forgot to chamfer the hole for the (last) threaded hole....
@MechanicalAdvantage8 күн бұрын
I didn't forget. I just didn't feel like explaining. Because Fusion uses the tap drill size for threaded holes, you can't just apply your chamfer to that edge of the solid. There is some math that has to be used to get the size of the chamfer you want after the hole is tapped. So I just chose not to do it in the video so I didn't have to explain.

I always wondered how to do this using several setups while maintaining from preceding setups. I tend to get the "Continue Rest Machining: Cannot verify that the stock is transferred from the previous setup for rest machining. Verify that the model selections in both setups are the same." warning. I am assuming the wrong body is being selected. Cannot figure out how to get rid of that warning message. Great video again. Much gratitude
@travisguilbeau84049 күн бұрын
So what’s causing your issue is the body you’re selecting for your body when you’re setting up your “setup” as you go you have to make sure each setup has that same body as its “body”, does that make sense to you?
@tdg9119 күн бұрын
@ I understand that but I was following Kevin’s example by inserting the same object multiple times for multiple setups and still get the same error. In Kevin’s example he is selecting another instance of the same component without any error. I know I am doing something wrong. I know can I save the first setups last operation as a mesh but I am missing something.

You need to set your units to "thou", since that's the units you imperial hold-outs actually converse in. You know your unit is the wrong one when you have to divide it into thousands to get the actual base unit you are working in. Using inches for mechanical work is like using miles for house framing. Other than the cringe use of inches, that was an awesome tutorial :)

@@MechanicalAdvantage FYI, I'm an American living in America. Inches is great in the scale range from furniture to building construction. Below that it makes no sense. Having to have two duplicate sets of sockets, wrenches and hex keys for two systems of units is equally retarded and a waste of tool drawer space. The rest of the world figured this out in the 70s and switched away from rando units based on a kings body parts.

Some stuff is fast, some is slow. I'm modeling a perforated grille in a truncated cone shape with rounded edges using therefore "emboss" to morph the pattern seamlessly from front face to sides. It should be quick but my i7-4770 (mid-2013) really struggles with it, also because this fonrt-to-side morph cannot be used with "pattern or features", but the pattern needs to be in the sketch which I emboss. Otherwise yes, specs are surprisingly quite irrelevant.
