CNC Basics 2

[@Walking_Death]

CAD, CAM, CAT. seems like a logical progression to me.

[@PeopleAlreadyDidThis]

fredadhbit Then when the cat is a little older, get a shop crow. CAW!

[@Hemotem]

lol I had the same thought hehe.

[@jasoncy31]

Man, this was the single most helpful CAD to CAM video on Fusion 360 that I've yet seen, and I've watched a lot of them. Thank you very, very much!

[@fellipec]

I need a shop cat. But before I need a shop. Then a lathe, a mill, bandsaw, grinder, CNC...

[@JohnDavidDunlap]

We have the same problem, my friend.

[@UncleKennysPlace]

I have most of that stuff. What I don't have is time.

[@RossTFarnsworth]

I got the cat, now to get the rest

[@NilsJakobson]

Do you have a house? There is no point to build a shop if youre just renting. All you can have is a cat. And even that could be against the rent policy.

[@SuryanIsaac]

@@UncleKennysPlace We can exchange, I have tonnes of time but not a shop

[@robmckennie4203]

I usually find cnc videos incredibly boring, but TOT always makes them interesting

[@msheaver]

Hey Tony, you don't need to thank me for watching - I need to thank YOU for making these awesome and enlightening videos. I learn so much from every one of them!

[@love2fight769]

This guy is the most fun to watch, its all as simple as possible. Keep doing your best. And that cat is soo cute. Best of luck.

[@KennyRusso77]

A big part of the reason why I enjoy your videos so much is because you never exclude the setbacks in your projects. I happen to believe that the best learning experiences are my own failures. They effectively teach me what not to do next time. And you do it in such a way as to not express it so much as a failure, but as just something that didn't go as planned that must now be rectified. That's exactly how I have attempted to raise my two boys. there is no such thing as a mistake, just an opportunity to learn how not to do something the next time!

[@richkellow1535]

D'you know what? I am not a techie by any measure or means, but the way you explain things so easily in laymans terms, even a numpty like me could operate an application like that. All I can say is thanks for the education and please keep the videos coming along with your great sense of humour. Rich,...UK.

[@ThisOldTony]

Well thank you very much numpty.. i mean Rich! ;)

[@jimmydiresta]

Dam. I needed this.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

Hey Jimmy, are we going to get an update on that giant lathe?

[@thelamb288]

I'll second that. Cheers.

[@Mekhanic1]

+Adam Oliphant Yes what he said!

[@craftedworkshop]

jimmydiresta thank you for recommending Tony on Making It. His channel is so freaking awesome and informative.

[@letsgoBrandon204]

Spike has some competition now

[@Sk8n2Enjoi]

This is the best rundown of operating a CNC I have seen. Your explanations in the setup/CAD portion make it easy to understand what the machine is doing afterwards and why. Thanks!

[@davidmarr5245]

I have a shop cat, very similar in color, he's a great companion. Someone I can bounce my ideas off.

[@digger945]

I like your style and speed of teaching. Keep the same rhythm and most will be on the same page. Thanks for sharing : )

[@anthonyartese]

Just like part 1, I wish I had watched this 6 months ago! I really enjoy how you pull together so many complex concepts and present them in an easy to digest way.

[@bamabeeeze]

You are a talented narrator, producer, and graphics designer. I throughly enjoy your videos.

[@markdobson4505]

Thanks Tony, your creative video editing and sense of humor are a great combination! The clear and thorough explanation is also greatly appreciated by many.

[@rottenluck]

Thank you for all of your CNC videos! Until recently I had no experience with machining or CAD. Your videos have helped motivate me to finish my router build, and got through my first design in Fusion.

[@SweetTooth8989]

Tony, I got to say your videos are spectacular. They're very interesting and educational, you explain things very well, your obviously very good at what you do and I can tell you put an incredible amount of effort and production time in your videos. I started welding 6 months ago and getting into fabrication as well and I have to say that I could watch your videos all day, and I usually do. Thanks for the great content.

[@TCMabe]

As a beginning CNC and Fusion 360 enthusiast, I found this video to be exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate people like you who have selflessly given your time to help clearly explain the flow from concept to cut. Thanks again ! If you ever decide to do a video on using Fusion 360 to mill a tapered piece, I'll be in the front row to watch it. The reason I said mill is because I don't have an A axis for rotation. Instead I have a mini lathe mounted on a 3 axis machine with an overhead gantry setup. The work would be in constant rotation as the router travels along the X axis and cuts from either Z or Y depending on the bit choice.

[@ThisOldTony]

A mini lathe sounds like a heckava 4th axis to me! I don't have much experience here but could you trick that into using lathe CAM?

[@TCMabe]

This Old Tony I am not sure, I will have to experiment until I figure it out. I have seen other people ignore the rotating work entirely and tell the machine to slowly plunge into the stock over a given distance. For example if your taper was going from 1 inch to 1/2 inch over a 30 inch span, you would treat the stock as flat and tell the software you want to cut 1/2 inch on one end and 1/4 inch on the other end ... since you are milling 1/2 inch away from the dead center at the headstock you would have a 1 inch piece and similarly as the router plunges into the work at 1/4 inch on the live center end at the tail stock you would have a 1/2 inch piece there. I'm just not familiar enough with Fusion 360 to convert that method into g code. Thanks for the reply and if you come up with anything I will be watching ! Cheers !

[@Hilmi12]

I have been learning about the CNC process for a while now as I am interested in buying a hobbyist grade mill and lathe. I would like to thank you for clarifying for me the general process from A to Z. Keep up the good work

[@peteg9069]

Love your videos, just the right amount of humour, and the cat is just like my old boy. He lasted 16 years.

[@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd]

Tony, the butt jokes are the first thing that made me laugh since my grandad died last week. Thank you.

[@AQUATICSLIVE]

Nice intro CNC man written very good, picked an easy project and showed the basics. Reminds me of my grandfather teaching me how to use the drill press when I was a kid. Perfect choice!

[@marksmith6259]

that was without doupt one of the best cnc basic explanations ive seen to date on you tube. thanks.

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Mark!

[@roberteckersley7834]

Brilliant thank you for your explanation Tony, been doing as much research as possible and your CAM tutorial was very helpful as it also included the actual CNC and Mach 4 part which is so often missed. Love your videos Thank you for sharing, It's appreciated :-).

[@Vickwick58]

i like that you leave your mistakes in. It shows a humble, human side.

[@KowboyUSA]

Makes it possible to learn from someone else's mistakes, too.

[@jeantesc812]

I don't know why I watch your videos, I don't make metal stuff, heck I the only tools I own are a couple screwdrivers and a hammer. My hobby is tropical fish and today I used knowledge from your channel to solve a problem. I was trying to modify a filter by adding a better pump and I needed to mate 2 different size plastic pipes so I made sort of a collet chuck thing out of one piece and was able to then press fit them together. This was not a connection under pressure or needed to water tight but it worked great! Glad I watched your videos on chucks.

[@NuuxaFeed]

This video was very informative. I appreciate you making it. It helped me understand better than most other videos I've watched

[@thegreatga]

Should have put the tape on the wood before carving and painting the numbers, and removed it afterwards. A+ quality!

[@ThisOldTony]

Now that's a smart idea!

Or at least sanded the wood and given it a coat of lacquer before painting, then it wouldn't have bled into the fibres.

One of the best intros to the Fusion CAM module I've yet seen, which is just what I needed to get started. Love your videos Tony, keep it up!

[@phooesnax]

It is like....Xmas and an unexpected gift. Thanks Tony! I love a video where you better well pay attention to every frame. Our neighbors also call our house that too...what a coincidence.

[@runningmangray]

I dont have a router or a lathe but i do find you videos educational and i love your humour. Great stuff

[@CraigLafferty]

This is my first video I have seen from you - love all the subtle humor! New subscriber based on this video!

[@Chopwoodcarrywater]

I don't always thumbs up but, when I do, it's a this old tony video. I particularly enjoyed the step by step cnc stuff.

[@operator8014]

You're not kidding about those oval Forstner bits.... Highway robbery if you need one of those, the square ones too!

[@yusdiy]

You're the best teacher for CNC basic.

[@cdslaughter1974]

I had created a gantry CNC some time back, and one thing I did was mount to line lasers ar right angles to each other on the sides of the spindle motor. This allowed me to project an X,Y line on the work piece with the intersection being where the dead center of the spindle is. This makes zero'ing out the home position on my work much easier.

[@pandymaniac]

Great video Old Tony, totally nailed it! I now got a part in my hand from an idea on my head. Just about the rigth time, since I just finished my DIY CNC milling machine. Keep up the good work and hilarious videos. ;)

[@Mrpilka987]

You don't have to say:"thanks for watching" we should be saying" thank for so much amazing video!"

[@apmgold]

Hey Tony, just a quick thank you for a very pleasant and informative video on the basics of CNC. It really made it easy for this noob to get his head around the concept. Keep up the great work.

[@RGSABloke]

Hey Tony, I knew that shop made 'Claymore' would come in real handy some day and your son gave an awesome demo of its use!!! Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing your awesome talent. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.

[@eammonmcgrory2977]

Wish I'd actually stumbled on this when I was looking for fusion 360 guides, instead of after having been a fan of your channel and having already learned this the long way round, But still a very useful follow up to Building your own cnc. Great content as always even if production value may have stepped up These more detailed videos are great to have in the catalogue, Thanks tony

[@Hansca]

I really love watching these videos, I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to stumble across the channel. Thanks!

Merry Christmas Tony, and another great video. Cracking up at the way you effortlessly change between metric and imperial conversation throughout. I've lost count the number of times I have been chipped for doing that too. Have a great new year and look forward to many more entertaining clips to come. Cheers, David

You absolutely rock. Thanks for posting this and clearing up a bunch of questions. To the 30 thumbs down, WTF? It's my guess that since you don't approve of this that you'll soon be doing some outstanding KZbin presentations, clearly you can do sooo much better. Please let us know when they're posted.

[@bandar4U]

This is one of the best videos on how to use Fusion 360 CAM. You helped me a lot. Very vivid explanation! Thanks!

[@MrSwift2568]

I'm a kid with a couple 3d printers. For the most part Cura generates my Gcode, and the printer just runs with it. So for me this was an awesome look at a lot of what my software was doing for me. I'm a programmer by trade so I really have been curious about the Gcode, and too lazy to go into it and understand what is actually going on. Great video, I learned more here than any of the 3d printing tutorials.

[@alexcrouse]

Started using Fusion because of one of your videos. And one thing i learned in this one is how to change the origin! Thanks!

Great video and a good addition to the Fusion tutorials I've been watching. One note - wood responds best to 'conventional' milling rather than 'climb' as you seemed to use mostly. You get less fluffy edges.

[@kevinyoungblut]

You had me at the cost of oval forstner bits. Lol. Love your videos.

[@einars899]

Very good explanation of the CAM! Not too detailed, but still covering the important points. And showing your mistakes is also very nice. You learn from your mistakes, and now we can also learn from them.I would try running the chamfer first to get less tearout in the pocket operations.And check the engagement making the round holes! They look like G0. That works in soft wood but will get you in trouble if trying it in aluminum. Or it could be not giving a lower F word than the XY movements? It's modal, so will be in effect until changed. Plunging should typically be done at a lower feedrate
