Fusion 360 Basic CAM Tutorial! FF53

[@PeterWMeek]

A "beginner" session every so often is much appreciated.

[@sksmith903]

Very timely video for me. About to start teaching my high school robotics kids some CAM on a few desktop sized machines, and was contemplating making an introductory video for them to reference... this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@knightfall7534]

One quick tip taught to me, use your chamfermill/spot drill to make the chamfers on all your holes before you drill them, it avoids ugly hand carved chamfers or having to do the operation again afterwards. Even parts that don’t have chamfers on the solid model usually allow for all edges to be broken at a maximum radius on the print, you save yourself time and avoid possibility scrapping the aesthetic of the part.

[@robr3015]

Thank you for going so slowly. I am just getting my head around the CAD and the CAM was confusing me. Another excellent video John.

[@bcbloc02]

This a well detailed beginner video, I will have to watch this one again when I get to playing with the big VMC.

[@bcbloc02]

NYC CNC Yeah, but scaling is easy. Looks like that would make a nice boring bar holder for like a 4ft lathe if you changed the dimensions to feet instead. . :-)

[@daniel102894]

+NYC CNC I want to talk something with you as I can communicate, if by whatsapp, email ?? please

[@terbnalu4854]

Total noob here, this was awesome, thanks so much!

[@chrusb7765]

If you were going to profile the outside. Instead of using corner rounding, draw the corner radi that way you can start on one of them and you get no dwell marks, just makes a cleaned looking part.

[@gredangeo]

4:59. You make a good point in saying about the hard turns so a curve will ease the machine better. But I find that is much better utilized in feeding paths to avoid corner maneuvers . When it comes to facing, not really a big deal. The machine has already made a hard stop reaching that first "Z" move, to start the first "F" code on the next Block. So may as well rapid straight to that final "Z", and the first "F" is on the X/Y. This method to me makes the code look cleaner. At the machine, you confirmed your last "Z", and the tool height looks good, so you know that you can proceed. In fact, most of the time, Bringing the tool directly to the last "Z", works for just about any tool that has no intention to be starting within the stock boundary. You're not wrong though, just my 2 cents. Awesome video. :)

Thanks for taking the time to help out us padawans John! Love the channel, keep doing what you're doing brotha!

[@blackbear92201]

Perfect description, and outstanding video! thanks for posting! :D

[@rivlry1975]

You are the Lars Christensen version for America. He deals mostly in mm and you are in standard. Awesome video

[@janeelliottsbookshelf4374]

Thanks so much for going over this! Your pace is perfect for me - a beginner!

[@macmcmillen6282]

This was awesome. Thanks so much. The 2D adaptive didn't sink in, but I'll get it eventually. Thanks again.

[@HughesEarthworks]

Another great video John! I always learn or relearn something!

[@MrMotobro]

Awesome, show more of these. Just what I was looking for. Thanks John

[@thelittlesciencegiants5943]

Very great video sir. Thank you for teaching me how to use fusion360.

[@TheMoody876]

I know this is a older video but I have a question my cnc mill does not have a tool changer. In fusion 360 could I do a new set up for every tool change to make the machine pause to change the tool? Or is there a better way to do this

[@StephenBoyd21]

Great video. I am learning the basics so it was ideal for me.

[@KenToonz]

Nice video, John. When running a simulation I always change the material from 'Mirror' (which is an awful default) to 'Wall Paint'. Bingo, you can actually see what's happening, especially in a video!

[@aizentaicho6868]

KenToonz yes👏

[@convertat_ars_in_scientia]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@thesnoc]

Great video for a novice like me. Thanks so much!

[@aizentaicho6868]

thank you! your videos are very helpful. 👏👏

[@jeffreymurphy7703]

Hey John. Thanks for all of the great videos! Question...do you know how to "upgrade" an existing subscription of 360 to the new ultimate version? All I am getting is an option to buy a completely new subscription. Am I missing something?

[@jimburnsjr.]

Well Champ, tangential extension distance is a name that can be used to verify concept beyond a shadow of a doubt....terms like that were, and are, used for an interesting part of the word posterity. Im curious as to the GO3/GO1 motion on the arc in of initial facing tool that occurs after the GOO to the initial z prepositoon for face milling. Listen....your videos are a national treasure...not perfect...but wisely apreciated...thank you for that.

[@martinsmith2948]

thank you so much!

[@Xraller]

A tutorial on patterning parts out of a single sheet of material after you have set up the cam on one part would be great.

[@rileymariol8331]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[@Xraller]

NYC CNC Awesome! Just for reference Im using an Inventables Carvey. Im clamping down a sheet of material over a spoil board.

[@rileymariol8331]

I would personally like to see the methodology behind making parts similar to the one in this video, but in a "batch" if you will. I'd love an explanation on that. Loved the video by the way John!

[@NewHartfordLocals]

John I’d love a fusion video on 3d programming

[@mechfeeney]

Did you program this for the 440 or 1100? Do you program differently for each machine?

[@AEkschen]

very nice tutorial. thanks!

[@sergiojimenez3445]

Hey NYC CNC do you have a 3+2 axis machining video tutorial?, would be very helpfull

[@camarillojohn]

HI John, I drew up a logo which I want to wrap around a1.25 diameter wood dowel ,this was done in Aspire. is it possible to import the model and wrap it to Fusion to create the CAM codes ? I have a Tormach 1100 with 4th axis rotary set up.

[@dphanks]

Great video. Still very relevant.

[@printyourenvironment]

Great tutorial, thanks so much!

[@TheHouseBlog]

Thank you for doing this series :)

[@victoralonso7448]

Tutorial molto buono! Thanks

[@buzztham]

I just started doing cam with this part and I cant get the slot to create a tool path and I'm doing it just the same as in the video

[@KAFA2020]

Dear respected sir, I'm really great full to you for your awesome tutorials. I've followed your instructions but after completing my design, I wanna see a design without any Shadow or reflection from the sketching. I've remove sketch but still it is not removing the dot dot(..........) Shadow or reflection from each sketching. Please could you help me?

[@danielkitson6878]

nice slow video john, thanks daniel

[@ShnitzlHaus]

much appreciated :) learned lots!

[@AvramBlackmith98]

Thank you, sir!

[@ORybin10]

How to get the tool library

[@pcmountaindog]

I don't get it. Why do all these demos show objects which are already in the system. How do I create just a 1 inch cube object starting from nothing?

[@joeking433]

Do they have to make it so damned hard?
