Can't talk _much_ about the other recommendations but the *Lars Christensen* videos were the ones that got me into Fusion 360 back in 2015 while waiting for my X-Carve to arrive from the US to Switzerland - No regrets going his route.

Thanks for this Winston. I was able to get my first cut on a Shapeoko 3 (ever) starting immediately in fusion 360 following this workflow. I only had to supplement with a few additional resources for feeds/speeds. This is an incredibly useful resource for first-timers (I am familiar with modeling in fusion, but never used the manufacturing tool before).

As a seasoned AutoCAD and someone that has used Fusion360 for about two years now, this was a really great video! I'm looking to buy a CNC for wooden cabinet related work and the only thing I missed here was how to do the initial setup of a CNC (You might have that in a video I haven't seen yet). Great job!

Obviously there is a lot that can be learned about Fusion 360 but just one thing I want to mention that applies to this video is regarding the four screw holes. In Fusion you can define one and name it, or I should say rename it if you want since it is given a name automatically, then reference it at the other three corners. This way if you want to tweak the hole or countersink parameters later, you just change one and they all change. Something good to get used to for down the road when designing more sophisticated projects.

This seems ridiculous but you just blew my mind that you can change Fusion 360 navigation layout. I use Catia V5 with work then I go home and use Fusion 360 which makes me have to change my way of thinking for navigation. Now it should be a much more fluid change. Thanks.

Love the explanations - really clear - just wonder if using 'holes' could speed up your workflow as it can do the recess etc in one move ..... but I know you were doing this as an introduction and there are so many ways to use F360
@TMCmakes5 жыл бұрын
i thought the same thing, but i think this approach as a beginner setup makes the most sense. i was also thinking about making one circle/hole and using circular pattern, but again that's a bit more advanced.

@TMCmakes5 жыл бұрын
the device shouldn't matter, the process is the same. obviously speeds and feeds may be slightly different for your device.
@RichardCournoyer5 жыл бұрын
@@TMCmakes I disagree....the Nomad is a lot more accurate (0.001), and the +/- 0.003" precision of the Shapeoko will affect the part's fit. The Shapeoko's 0.001 (or less) repeatability allows it to cut to 0.001 with an extra step (or two). This extra step is not known by most of the field and I agree that Winston should make a video to explain it.

Winston I've tried Fusion 360 several times. My biggest problem while trying to follow a KZbin video, is the X Y Z alignment. Mine always seems different than the example and I don't understand how to rotate/align the subject to match. Otherwise I follow everything else just fine. It's just this initial step I have problems with. I have watched every video I can find for Fusion 360, but no one every addresses this subject. Is it that simple that it doesn't need explanation?
@WinstonMakes5 жыл бұрын
In the very first tab when you do your stock setup there's a dropdown to pick orientation. You can pick an arbitrary face to be perpendicular to Z.

@vrva31384 жыл бұрын
I couldn't figure out how to match the part with stock. Like my part was 1x1.25" but the stock I use was 1.5 x 1.5. but my tool path shows cutting only by the periphery of 1" , even though it is showing added stock to the sides, which means the tool will hit the extra.5" on the stock while plunging. How do you adjust this so that I can cut a smaller part from a bigger stock. Or do you have to use exact size stock as your design every time?

@grumpysteelman3 жыл бұрын
Sketch in a feature with the extent of the stock that you want to use. You can then select the stock contours in most toolpaths. The software is clearing everything because adaptive clearing leaves only what you specify, so you can also put in a perimeter - or you actually just need to use contour with slot clearing instead of adaptive clearing.
@dinoitaly5 жыл бұрын
I may have missed this, but do you have to run the file into carbide motion to finally cut? Or are you doing everything from fusion? I’m debating between the shopeoko and x-carve and I think I’ve decided on the shapeoko, now I just have to decide how big of one I wanna get. Thanks for your input. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I really appreciate your work.
