Not many people I wish were still on KZbin but Lars is one of them

[@Reach41]

As a hobbyist, I find myself reviewing the basics from time to time to remember what I've forgotten. Lars is the greatest.

[@lingue0438]

being 19 years old and having this man explain everything step by step, real life savior and so thankful.

[@michaelparkin6873]

Lars, many thanks for all your work. For me, your videos are the 'goto' place for fusion lessons. Just a hobbyist and total beginner, but getting better thanks to you.

[@250smacks]

Same here!

[@joemartinson1826]

I watched two other Fusion 360 CAM tutorials and was lost. Watched this one and it was crystal clear. Thanks so much Lars!

[@danmartinguit]

Thank you very much Mr. Lars ! Its my first time trying the CAM portion of Fusion 360 and I LOVE it , thanks to you and your good explanations, great personality and beautiful passion !!! Keep up the great work !!!

[@adambergendorff2702]

I miss your videos, I just bought a Haas Vf, so now I have a reason to go back and watch your videos again.

[@gabbydebuyst5250]

I've learned more with this video than with the hundred I've seen before on youtube. Great job!

[@jackfrost2853]

I have to to say that you did good explanation and spend half an hour for us. I would like to thank you!

[@treelife365]

Thanks for this awesome step-by-step guide, Lars! I learned many tips and tricks from you 😊

As someone who's just getting into this stuff I'm absolutely amazed at how well you deliver this information. Thank you very much!

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome, Andrew. Good luck on your adventure!

[@chrismarlow2128]

Love this! Well done and easy to understand. It's refreshing to see CAM/milling - there are still some of us who don't do everything using a 3D printer. I'll be subscribing so I can check out all your other content.

[@bhgdetjbngfd]

Learnt more in 4 videos than in months of trying to figure this out myself. Keep them coming Lars

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Allan Ross .Thank you for watching the videos

[@BuiltByMike]

Thank you for all your videos. You have a great teaching style and ones of few I actually understand and learn from. Because of you i can make parts on the 3d printer and soon will be cutting parts out.

[@adrianharrison5208]

Thanks for making this video, it really has helped with working out Fusion 360 and I spent all day going over this making the part I wanted

[@Allpractically]

i am new to fusion 360. Excellent knowledge. Thank you Mr. Lars Christensen.

[@GL0ZZ3NTechReviews]

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I found it really helpful. Really what I needed to get on my feet with fusion.

[@StephenBoyd21]

Great tutorial Lars. I am starting to get into CAM and even I could follow this.

[@zajeno1]

I really enjoy your videos they are very clear and to the point... best ever... Lars the fusion GURU!!

[@FluffyTheGryphon]

I was quite intimidated by CAM until your videos. You've made this all so easy. Thanks!

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear FluffyTheGryphon .Thank you for watching the videos

[@thundersoundsystem]

Thank you very much ... Lars ... I recently bought a Tormach 770M (without having any knowledge of how to use it) and your video has cleared up many doubts

[@douglasw7806]

That was a lot of information in a 30 minute video but very well presented. Good job!

[@swizzley88]

Outstanding! Well done. I will be using this as a guide in the future.

[@beatnik1855]

Thanks Lars. I am building my own cnc from scratch and surprisingly the cam and mach3 software are the most challenging parts for me. This is a great help!

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Conrad Brisebois .Thank you for watching the videos

[@dalemasters8367]

Thanks Lars .With your help I am going to get this done! !

[@cadcamstuff]

Will do my best 👍😊

[@orcan-Jagjeetpaul]

fantastic walkthrough for CAM features

[@Lemming1970]

Great video, Just getting started with cad/cam software, I've always programmed on machine (Hurco, prototrak) This was a great introduction to cam programming. At least fills me with some confidence.

[@garethbuckley2533]

Appreciate your tutorials ! Thanks.

[@pakman422]

Great job Lars. You do your job well at the same time keeping good relationships with the people who follow you and making great casual videos along with these. Keep it up! - Jacob S.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Jacob S. .Thank you for watching the videos

[@ManorWood]

Hi Lars , Great video .. I can't see on the facing operation where you set how deep per pass or how many passes you would like to set , I am trying to set up a levelling programm for Large Wood slab Using a spoil board cutter

[@M1nge04]

Great video for the tutorial explained all the features in detail !

[@PT1040]

Awesome Lars, thanks for this one!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this one of many great Autodesk products Lars. You are a talented presenter.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Bow Tie Bandit

[@JoaoCarvalho141252]

Absolutely fantastic, Lars. To be honest (and because this is the first time I've seen this type of process ...) I still don't understand the whole process. So, I need to see more often, and practice and eventually ask some questions about ...! Thank you. Greetings: João Carvalho.

[@graffiti73]

Awesome tutorial! Watching your videos really helps learning Fusion so much easier and fun.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Grazer-One .Thank you for watching the videos

[@2010DeanoRiordan]

I am new to Fusion 360 and im so happy i found your video's. you have made it so easy to understand how to go from design to G-code. Iv just finished building a cnc router so i can't wait to start designing something and seeing it being cut out on the router... :)

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear 2010DeanoRiordan .Thank you for watching the videos

[@terjegjerstad9692]

You explain all perfect.

[@MrDirkles]

Back when i first started work in a small engineering firm back in the 80's they used to have some cnc equipment and i always remember the manual programming of the machine and then the rapid hitting of the emergency stop when you noticed that you had put z-50 rather than z50 or similar. This stuff you've just demonstrated is truly amazing and must reduce boring bars into the chuck incidents massively.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear MrDirkles .Thank you for watching the videos. AND now you don't have to bring extra underwear with your to work anymore :-)

[@MrDirkles]

Lars Christensen you're right. No one hates this technology more than the underwear manufacturers.

[@thedevmachine]

Very good. Learned a lot. Thanks

[@larrykent196]

Great job, I like your style of teaching a complex subject. The sample part is an outstanding example. Identify challenges faced with work holding and depth of cuts along with, chamfering, starting the cut on the outside profile in the corner, tool selection is outstanding points.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear larry kent .Thank you for watching the videos

[@CorkyGarko]

Great video - just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome 👍😊Thank you for watching

[@pierrefourie2317]

Very informative since i only starting to use this today Thanks

[@arielfulgueira2317]

Great tutorial ! thank you

[@GreasyMidget]

Perfect! Exactly what i was looking for, thanks!

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome 👍

[@davidcox692]

Lars thanks for that video helped me out, wish I had seen this before I sent you the e mail the other night, The setting up of the part was my stumbling block, but the first 5 mins of this video was a game changer, its one thing drawing the part and doing tool pathes but its no good if you cant get the correct position for your work coordinates,

[@m_disulphide]

thank the algorithm for lars!

[@danielflonta877]

Hi Sir you are doing a good job!!! all my respect .

[@tcp102008]

Hello Lars, Thank you for your well presentation video. The video is clear and precise to follow. I did subscribe and like your video.

[@patrickyolanda506]

I work long time as cnc machiene operator, making molds for the allu industry, fusion360 looks a great program to generate the G-machiene codes, BTW nice vids, good explain in detail how to use the software, seen many vids from Lars, use it now for 3D models and 3D printing, Thx Lars...

[@hotfuzz1913]

Thank you Sir for another excellent tutorial

[@edgarjesusrodriguez]

Thanks for the info. Just starting to learn cam

[@MrBobyoung58]

Great information contained in this video also Lar's, thank you.

[@shadowmanxyz7805]

Really appreciate you taking the time to make such a wonderful video! its helped me in my efforts to learn this side of Autodesk.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Eric Neel .Thank you for watching the videos

[@shadowmanxyz7805]

Lars Christensen I have been tinkering with 360 for about 2 years now making things on my 3D printer. This year I took a programming job at my work and I’m now programming CMM machines using PC DMIS. I’m not for sure if your familiar with them. It’s just Metrology stuff and I have had to learn a tremendous amount of stuff about GD&T. I have tried and tried to learn about the cam side of autodesk and have finally started learning thanks to you! I really appreciate your videos and hope to one day be as proficient as you lol. I’d love to take a job within engineering and you have really set me on that path. Thank you very much sir.

[@Bianchi77]

Cool info, well done, thanks for sharing :)

[@SuperNicotien]

Epic as always.\m/ Thank you Lars.

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!

[@ioannisbag-las4916]

hello and thank you for all your efford. toy are great. i whould liek to ask , why the 3d adaptive clearance didnt clean all the surface and then we had to use the horizontal toolpath to clear the stock that was left ?

[@MidEats]

awesome video may god bless you for this

[@jamescullins2709]

Good job, Lars thanks

[@conradsinsua7415]

Good job with the tutorial

[@woodbot3758]

Excellent!

[@kevCarrico]

more great info lars, thank you!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you KevCarrico

[@eduardodanielantuna5768]

Great master. Excelent tutorial. Best regards from Argentina.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Eduardo Daniel Antuña

[@magicman9486]

Thank you so very much. I had been trying so hard to figure out how to export to my CNC. I do not have a tool changer. How would i go about making a different CNC files for each tool? Laugh, going to need to re-watch this video a number of times. And again thanks so much for providing these videos.

[@shadowmanxyz7805]

Thank you Lars!

[@bernienufc3166]

now to practice this, cheers very well put.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Bernie NUFC

[@shadowmanxyz7805]

Very very useful!

[@jayhubelbank9040]

A big thank you for all your videos. You wealth of knowledge, not just CAD but CAM as well is impressive. Any idea when Snapmaker 2.0 will be added to the CAM Machine Library?

[@terrylooney2822]

I love your videos and I think Fusion is one of the best programs for modeling I have ever used. I have one problem. Exporting my files to the cloud. I would greatly appreciate a video on how and when this is done.

[@herminsularbelaez7859]

thanks Lars good video.

[@samiseghir3887]

Great Great Great! Thanks Lars, Good job!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Sami Seghir

[@wonderfulmystical4316]

Please ignore all hate and mean comments. I've learned soooo much in this tutorial it's insane! Thank you so much for this!

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Yes, ignore the fools that like to insult, i learned a lot too.

[@dangrimes5078]

Why would anyone find fault with this? Unless they sell Bodcad that is

[@tecnolaundryags6893]

thank you so much for your help it really helped me understanding fusion 360 concept i was used to mastercam but no longer. I have a question how do i get the propper cut rate feed spin etc ¿? thank you so much

[@DeanTheMachine94]

I feel like I could have a beer with Lars

[@cadcamstuff]

Well if we ever meet, I’m buying 👍😊

[@billkellogg1403]

Best EVER!!

[@wrjonesee]

Thanks Lars. Your help is always great. I am having trouble generating a tool path. I keep getting "empty tool path" message when attempting. Where can I get some specific help on my model?

[@dennisrkb]

Lars recently discovered your channel, great videos! Thanks for putting out all that informative content. What happens when your stock is bigger than the model? How do you set that up?

[@gheumann]

I'm making good progress learning CAM in F360 thank in large part to your videos. I WISH I had seen this particular video sooner! One thing you glossed over was the depth of cut your facing path takes -and how you could ensure an accurate depth on the model's features after moving the facing path later in the process. Where would you have set Z=0 before beginning?

[@Michael-lo3ht]

I love your videos. How-to videos are great if they also tell you why, like on your videos. It's much easier to use features, etc. if you know why you're doing it. Thanks

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome 👍😊Thank you for watching

[@sonnybrahmi3136]

Hi Dear Lars; Thank you

[@js2acRa]

Thank you Lars for all the videos you make and the positive vibes you have! I am new in the field and need your help please! I have designed an object and I am going to have it in marble with CNC machine(-waterjet) Do I have to export STL format to sent them or I have to use CAM before? Thank you 💕 keep on

[@belladonnaRoot]

Excellent video. FYI, different CAD programs don't typically agree what axis is the Z axis when exporting. Engineers/designers don't typically model in dumb orientations; when importing, Fusion just guesses which axes are the XYZ axes and sometimes guesses wrong based on what program exported the file.

[@davecox900]

Lars this was great for me like I say just wish you lived next door mate lol.

[@isaiascamolesijunior6739]

Obrigado pelo video. Ajudou muito!!!

[@nadjibmahmoud9472]

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!

[@thomashenderson3901]

+Lars Christensen Have you done a video where you cover minimising those yellow step over lines?

[@justinberdell7517]

I'm new to cnc. I have an aluminum part that has a 2D pocket with a hole at the bottom out the bottom of the part. Should I bore the hole and then clear the pocket, or should I clear the pocket and then bore the hole?
