Fusion 360 Lathe CAM: Controlling ID Boring Toolpath!

[@ScroungerLee]

Once in a while you learn something new that is amazing and wonder how the original person came up with it. Using a fake operation that will never get posted and then real operations with the remaining stock enabled is new to me even though I’ve used Fusion 360 for five years plus. Definitely not the first time I have learned major time saving things from you. Thanks for your continuing education

Great stuff as usual John! And I think when you leave the little errors you come across during the process it serves as more of a learning tool than you may think. A big part of learning a software like Fusion is knowing how to solve problems when they arise, and since it is still a fairly new product we wont all know how to achieve every little thing that we want to do. So when you keep those errors in the videos like "empty toolpath" it's definitely beneficial!

What a insparational out of the box way of thinking. I fricking love this channel. 🎉🎉🎉

[@frankhiatt5295]

Like how you share your hard won knowledge and experience in your videos. I am not a machinist but I do have some experience with manual machining from an engineering point of view. I can do technical drawings and drafting. I have found that many problems that machinists have are because of the source drawings that they are using. Like your channel and the content is very helpful for my design work. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Very nice, a short cut to simple parts that has been welded. Looking forward to try the 3d scanner on more complex parts to make a 3d model "stock"... see if its good enough... ;-)

Really neat and helpful! I find the F360 lathe CAM can be pretty tricky to set up compared to milling. Some of the error messages are very unhelpful and confusing. Defining the stock can be a very powerful way to define the actual toolpath you want.

[@clkeck1]

When we do things like this and inventor we pattern the body with a zero offset to make a parrametric duplicate and then offset surfaces on the new body so you have a body for stock and a body for turn. This also works well for parts you are leaving stock on in certain areas for heat treat for hard turn.

[@JohnK8]

That was pretty clever. Thank you. Great video.

[@SubBassFrequency]

Great Information here, thankyou for sharing. I've struggled a lot with turning operations in Fusion 360, particularly with modelling tools and their orientation on roughing and finishing toolpaths. Fusion always seems to mess up or restrict how the tool can be used and I cannot get it to operate how I would normally on a manual lathe. I would be very grateful if you could do a video on modelling turning tools with various carbide inserts to work properly in Fusion360.

Was that Abom we saw there at the beginning?

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

It was. He has a video about going to the class in prep of running his new CNC mill.

[@ClayAllisonNM]

I thought I remembered his video about it but didn't realize it was with SMW

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

@@ClayAllisonNM there is also a video where Adam is getting a tour. Don't remember whose channel it was on.

[@larshofmann7516]

Can you make a video about exciting toolpaths next?

[@crashfactory]

Feels like a boolean operation on toolpaths! Crazy idea, but it works.

[@ReactionTime344]

Interesting workflow for sure

[@Hugues11]

Why not simply programme few finishing pass with "stock to leave" stack ?

[@theinvestinghouse]

Exactly what I would do. I do that anyway on majority of programs

[@ginawhite1503]

That was awesome thanks!

[@dharmendrasuthar4342]

I have circular saw for turning. How to program this...?

[@sobamani1244]

Well done

[@vishalpal2059]

Best CAM software for lathe programming ?

[@seancollins9745]

probably Mastercam afaict

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

Slightly more advanced, but when cancelling your offset command to create the parameter, it could have been a good time to show how to create parameters on the fly.

Yo bro bro

[@kalebpellegrin803]

Yo bro bro yo buddy

[@k4x4map46]

whew!! nice

[@jamestrebillcock4718]

Or use G73?

[@davidwellner7318]

Why not just avoid all of that and create a manufacturing model where you can offset your original profile out by .1 so you don't chance anyone posting a dummy file? I feel as if any chance to eliminate human error the better. The reasonable amount of time it takes to do this through a manufacturing model vs a tool path completely eliminates possibly of error and may only add 1 to 2 mins to your process at most if done right.

Thanks for sharing 👍

That desk sound through the microphone is super annoying!
