Programming keyholes on the CNC using freecad 1.0

[@MangoJellySolutions]

Great to see a channel who is taming CNC with freeCAD. Wow, this is some quality content. Really well done.

[@opensourcecnc]

Thanks! Coming from someone like you, it means so much more!

[@onurates9311]

Because of you, I started to become a CNC guy. Thnaks alot.

[@opensourcecnc]

Thanks! I'm glad my videos are helpful

[@billm2158]

Thank you for showing this technique.

[@opensourcecnc]

You're welcome, I hope it is helpful

[@marwanaouida]

Great video as usual. Personally I would have written the GCode manually for such job.

[@opensourcecnc]

Thanks! I prefer it this way because it allows me to change the parameters of the keyhole without having to remember to change the gcode

I am boomer too. I need a grid paper, and a pencil. Except for 3d surfaces.. I hate to intagrate the path..

[@blah_z]

13:45 min in you changed the Z Height of the tool path from 16 to 16.02 mm. I was wondering why when it was the tool diameter that was changed from 12.7 to 12.68?

[@opensourcecnc]

Because on open profiles it doesn't create any toolpath with the final depth set to the face, unless you use the 0.02 mm height hack.

Hi. Amazing display of skills. thx for the share. Do you have more basic freecad programming videos for new users ? I will certainly look into that.

[@opensourcecnc]

Thanks! You can find a lot of videos on my channel

[@guillaumevincent716]

@opensourcecnc yes i checked all of your videos and i belive i will have to watch all of them. Amazing chanel here very inspiring

Avec plaisir

Hello! Nice video! Do You know freecad is capable to real 4 axis turmilling? (simultaneous movement) C axis a chuck what is hold a workpart and can turn around 360 degree.

[@opensourcecnc]

@@torpemonguz I know it has some capabilities to do it, but I haven't tested it, as I don't have a fourth axis yet

[@torpemonguz]

@@opensourcecnc Maybe make a short video about the principle steps?

[@opensourcecnc]

It wouldn't feel right to make a video without knowing if it works as it should or not...

A bancada CAM precisa melhorar ainda, mas já temos o melhor programa opensource

[@opensourcecnc]

Yes, it is a great program. The same can be said about the cam workbench. Despite all its bugs, it still is the most powerful opensource cam out there
