Fusion 360 Tutorial | CAM Basics

[@marklevenspiel9036]

The very first tutorial that the producer talked at a pace I could follow and absorb, Simply great. 80yo from down under.

[@southernjoes8372]

Yep, He's my go to in fusion

[@bitsurfer0101]

learn at any age I say

[@vividcolourfilms1276]

This is probably the best tutorial for a CNC beginner, a step by step guide is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@louisferreira9055]

You've shown me everythng I needed to know in ONE video, where 50 other videos did not! Absolute gold dude! Would love to see more of these, starting with milling gears ;)

[@shawnkroll1277]

Austin, congrats on an incredibly well done tutorial! As an Engineer I've taken lots of classes and watched lots of videos throughout my career and this is at the very top for pace, simplicity, thoroughness and practicality! I've been a fabricator and car builder all of my life and I'm taking the "plunge" into CNC just now and while I know the basics of Fusion for modeling (and have used most of the other packages over the years), I had NO CLUE how to develop programs for CNC in the CAM side of F360. This was a stellar jump-start for me! Thank you!

[@GTWoodshop]

This is fantastic thank you so much, you have enabled me to cut my first CNC job. 😁👍

[@Tuxedo2680]

This is the first Fusion 360 CAM tutorial I watch in which the author takes the time to explain every step of the process instead of just going through the motions and assuming the student will follow. The "what" and the "why" are essential to comprehension and learning. Not every KZbin CNC machinist understands this. When you've been doing something for many years, it becomes second nature and it's easy to forget or completely overlook how complicated or confusing it looks like to an absolute beginner. Teaching skills is a skill in and of itself. Thank you!!

[@alexanderkartsonakis]

I just finished watching the entire video and it's SO GOOD, that I feel like I owe you money!!! Can't wait for the upcoming videos. I genuinely enjoy this. Again, hats off!

[@austinshaner]

Thanks mate! I'm glad you found this useful!

[@djentisnotagenre]

I'm so glad you're going in this direction. These videos have levelled up my game so much!

[@austinshaner]

I'm so glad this helped!😃

[@grancanariacycling7242]

Searched high and low for a video to show me how to transfer my designs from Fusion 360 to my CNC for woodwork. This is, by a long long way, the best video out there! Really well structured and at a pace a noob can follow. You should do more of these types of video!

[@JohnHoranzy]

Thank you for not stating out with a 6 axis turbine wheel. Thank you for cover so many details. Looking at the adaptive tool paths really makes me appreciate the value of F360.

[@StuffIMade]

Great video! How do you ensure that when flipping to do the underneath of the box that you are exactly aligned to the work piece?

[@austinshaner]

Thank you! When I'm doing 2 sided machining I typically use a fixture with dowel pins. I don't zero off of the workpiece, but rather the fixture itself. This way the dowel pins make sure that the cuts on side A line up with the cuts on side B, but the fixture makes sure that zero point never moves and remains constant through all operations. If you're interested, my Order of Operations video, and my CAM for guitars/necks etc videos show this in more detail.

[@ChinJazz]

Hi Austin, thanks for this informative Tutorial!! - Was this intended to be a follow along? If so, is there a file of the Grossman box? Or a video of creating the box? Thanks :)

[@paulvreke9781]

Yet another great tutorial! Very useful information! Thanks a lot!

[@reece674]

Awesome tutorial man thank you. Alot of other ones just smash through the settings side of things which is all well and good if you arent a total noob but for somebody just starting (me) it is very helpful information.

[@SIeexic]

This video is absolutely amazing, but I was REALLY hoping you were going to show how you did the curves on the top of the lid and bottom of the box :(

[@naz8885]

This is the best, most coherent fusion360 cnc tutorial I've seen thus far. You're a good man, Austin.

[@yonathanevan3334]

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzbin.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

[@DigitalChiselWorks]

Hi Austin, great video!. I have a question for you. Selecting my work coordinate system will only allow me to choose from my model and not my stock. How do I change this? I have defined my stock dimensions but it still won't let me select my corner from the stock.

[@martineisbrenner]

This is by far the best video in a very niche topic. You cover all the topics in your channel that I want. Cheers!

[@scienceandtechnologyst8134]

Dose fusion 360 support 5th axis post processing of any machine because i used so many post processing of other machines also but it doesn't works only 4th axis works at a time Can you tell me about setting up grbl post processor for 5 axis in fusion 360 I tried a lot but only 4 axis is moving at a time not more than that i want to move all 5 axis of my machine i am using. Grblgru mega 5x nd for designe i am using fusion 360 When i am exporting my gcode in .nc extension by using grbl post processor after exporting in grbl a and b axis is not moving in simulation

[@fredmercury1314]

24:00 Having the ramp feed rate higher than the plunge feed rate, seems weird to me... With plunge, you're going straight down into the material. With ramp, you're going down whilst moving in the X/Y also. So with ramp you're loading the tip of the cutter *and* the side of the cutter. Surely that loads the cutter more than a plunge, and so it needs to be a slower rate? Which is the opposite of what's shown here.

[@Rahul-eg2cf]

where can I get the groomsman box CAD/dimensions so I can follow along?

[@KevIn-tu4fv]

Amazing video. What kind of CNC are you using for this project ?

[@LiuteriaMarcellan]

By far the best video I've found. Great job.

[@mjfister]

Really appreciated the pace and thought in this - VERY helpful!

[@Hanal503]

Z0 on top stock ..but where you learned it?😂😂😂😂😂jezzzzzz

[@TheBaldPilot]

I hate to be the one that has encountered an issue... (i have designed a Pavilion that has over 100 components.) At the beginning you say, "Because this is an assembly, I right click and select OPEN..." Well, I'm stuck in the design my of project and I do not see where to (I guess) convert the design to an assembly. I can't seem to get OUT OF Design. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

[@CryoftheProphet]

Dude... just thanks, you really took a thoughtful and methodical approach to this as if you were someone who never did this before, I learned probably more here than I have on some of the professional guided videos. Thanks!

[@steeze1716]

If you aren’t facing either side, how do you get rid of the tabs left by a contour cut?

[@Mustafa-uo9bz]

Very very informational Tutorial. Is there any way to download the model in order to be follow along the tutorial?

[@PaulEricPageau]

You have a real talent for this! I create training videos for a living (other domain of course) and can confirm the excellent quality of your presentation. I'm new to woodworking/CAD/CAM and just learned almost all I need to work with my new CNC. The only question remaining for which I can't find an answer (maybe just because the question is too basic): when you have a component assemble 3D model, for example a box with inside dividers, do you need to flatten everything out on a copied version or is there a way to do it from the original 3D and create the G-Code for the CNC?

[@ninjapirate123]

So basically Manufacture and Cam is the same thing right

[@jlippencott1]

This is Gold! The most comprehensive, informative and detailed instruction for Fusion CAM that I could find anywhere - and I have been looking for one like this for weeks. Thank you for the great work.

[@fbujold]

Are the tools center cutting or regular? I am having serious chatterwhen not using center cutting bits.

[@jetstream01]

Great tutorial, thank you. Just fyi for anyone reading, you don't have to manually adjust "stock top" every time if you choose the "rest machining" option. If this is selected it will automatically only consider stock that's left after the last operation.

[@seanlennon5044]

Again, another great video. I too have an X-Carve, it would be interesting to see what modifications you have made in another video. I'm sure this will a good supplement to the end to end tutorial of creating a guitar with a CNC.

[@austinshaner]

Thanks! Yeah,I figured that I would end up showing my setup when I do videos actually making projects like the guitar etc.. Since that may be a while, mostly what I've done is replace the entire frame with my own 750x1500 8020 and 1/4" steel plate with T tracks. But gantry/spindle are still stock. If you want to see pics you can follow me on Instagram. I have some build photos in there. instagram.com/akx.hax

[@brtrailers6944]

Best tutorial, regards from Brazil.

[@alejandrocalvo881]

Hello, does Avid CNC(PRO4896 4' x 8' CNC Router Kit) work with Fusion 360?

[@austinshaner]

Absolutely.

[@ysteingundersen8841]

Thank you vey much for this tutorial :D

[@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ]

This is an excellent tutorial, very detailed...

[@ccgooser]

As a newcomer to hobby cnc, this is by far the best tutorial I have come across. Concise, easy to understand, and beautifully depicted with a real world example that Id be happy to make for myself. Thanks Austin. I've subscribed and smashed that bell, which is not something I do very often.

[@analyticalcreative9988]

Agree with the other comments.. This is one of the best tutorials I have watched for Fusion. :-) Subscribed!

[@rsilvers129]

Good video and clear to understand. You should change to metric though. It’s weird to see feed in inches per minute. The one thing I want is a database of tools and feeds for those tools for various materials. I know they have it for certain machines but would like it for a 3018 with a 600 watt motor.

[@southernjoes8372]

An Extremely informative video. Thanks you've explained manufacturing the way I needed it. Thanks, looking forward to more.

[@spannerman4886]

That's is so helpful, very informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this Austin. I've just finished building my CNC and learning fusion 360 so this is a blessing👍🏼👍🏼

[@austinshaner]

I'm glad this helped you!! 🍻

[@michaelwheatley5627]

Wonderful tutorial! It helped me a lot!

[@mana364]

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything we need to know about this new CNC world ,, you explanation are so clear and perfect for me as a beginner

[@tomlockwood5335]

It is confusing when to identify the top edge or the bottom edge versus thickness specifications. Can you clarify?

[@austinshaner]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but do you mean when assigning your WCS/origin for the toolpaths? If so, I typically use the top surface if I'm doing a single sided operation. I use a fixture for both XY and Z when doing two sided operations. And only occasionally use the bottom surface as my z zero when I either need to ensure the bit doesn't hit my wasteboard, or I'm using a gage block to set a specific z height off of the wasteboard for my zero

[@nathanking2484]

Thank you for an excellent video!

You need to make video tutorial cam in mm in future.. I need it so bad.. Thanks for your hardwork. You help me alot 🙏

[@bluman74]

This video is excellent! Fusion is not easy to pickup quickly and the level of explanation in this video is well suited for the beginner. Thank you Austin.

[@williamwmcqiv6157]

This was an excellent tutorial, thank-you so much for posting this video!

[@frog1724]

Really an awesome video - one of the most helpful ones I have discovered so far! One question: When milling the outer shape of the box, your router is performing a lead-out for every singel round. The default setting, however, is to make only one lead-out at the end of that job - which means that the router tries to pull through the whole thicknes of the material - which of course does not make sense. Where did you activate the lead-out for each pass? I only find this option for the finishing ("Leads on All Finishing Passes") - where in my opinion it does not make too much sense...

[@sandracordoba6090]

Beautiful video. Great explanation

[@aracalibasi2047]

Hi Austin, this is the firs time I am on KZbin I am blown up how good you are explaining the flow. Thank you.

[@adrianharrison5208]

That was for me very easy to follow and keep up with you as you went throught the project, first time I have found a video were I was able to keep up.. thank you for making this video.. I will be watching more of the videos you have made

[@eschmalzy]

Hey, great job explaining this. I'm just getting into Fusion 360. I came from 20 years of SolidWorks and SolidCAM. This helped me get up to speed.

[@austinshaner]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad this helped. My previous job used SolidWorks exclusively so I remember how difficult it was making the switch - particularly the difference between Joints and Mates (still annoys me tbh lol). My current job uses primarily Siemens NX, so I mostly use Fusion for my home shop.

[@eschmalzy]

@@austinshaner Yes mates and assemblies ... not fun.

[@somtingwongwai7194]

Your Videos (all of them) are a valuable contribution for all, can't thank you enough for your time and efforts. Just sharing these video with friends has enabled them to buy a CNC machine.

[@HeyApos]

Hi Austin, very good, clean and understandable walk through. In terms of both clear, accent free voice, grammatically correct sentences, no studdering or fillwords like "ahm, you know, ..." or big pauses and further more a good through thoughtful concept. Not everyone is capable of this. Furthermore the content is excellent and well balanced for the given case. Thanks for also not heading around the screen with the mouse, but pointing on the important things, stay there, stay long enough on the tooltips so that one is able to read them - you really got the idea 🙂 I just got a used CNC mill and already working with fusion for 3D printing. So this gave me the most important things to get things going. Thanks a lot. A little drawback: no metric system (SI). I think, it will take decades until this reaches the whole world. My calculator, pencil and paper are sitting right next to the video for basic translation of measurements 🙂Nevertheless, I know this is common in machinery world. Cheers from over the ocean, Axel

[@chrisr1241]

Thank you for your amazing video! I feel a little sorry that you live in the imperial world. Must be very cumbersome to handle all these uneven numbers =) But I am sure many are used to it...

[@austinshaner]

Thank you! Like with anything, it's what you grow up with that is easiest. I find imperial much easier than metric, even though I know metric makes more sense as a system lol. I think it has to do with a frame of reference, because I'm surrounded by imperial, I can imagine what a 1/4", 3/8", 3/4" etc looks like and how large it will be physically. But I can't do the same for 5mm, 10mm, 20mm etc. I'd have to convert to inches to visualize it.

[@chrisr1241]

@@austinshaner This makes totally sense =) But you have to put a lot more digits into a digital system than in metric. 0.125 vs 3 mm or even 3.2 is shorter. And normally, we don't use so many digits after the coma. Anyway, I am sure at the end there is no difference.
