LOW HP MACHINING | TORMACH TUTORIAL | PROGRAMMING THE TITAN-4M IN FUSION 360

[@vromerobertoline]

Nicole: this is exactly what we need for our students. A Step by step procedure mixing the video showing the machining sequence with the real manufacturing process. ¡Thank you!.

[@edmundzadurian8908]

Very nice and step by step demonstration,, thank you

Hi Nicole, excellent job! Very glad to see the beginnings of a series of videos for the Titan Building Blocks sample projects using 'low HP' machines, such as the Tormach 770 M+. Looks like they're getting lots of views just as soon as each one is posted. As others have commented, you've done a great job showing all the settings used to program the toolpaths for the machining steps. A couple of suggestions to think about: 1) Consider briefly explaining the rationale for some of the settings choices and changes you make, especially the ones you do frequently for the different sub operations. These only need to be mentioned in the first instance, not each time. For example why are the lead in angles changed from 90 to 45? Why are (almost) all the reference planes changed to model top? While the reasons may be obvious to some based on prior knowledge and experience, you want 'the rest of us' to understand these changes through watching your content. 2) Consider showing the resulting tool paths generated at the end of each programmed operation for longer, and explaining some of the features and how they relate to the settings used to generate them. I had to carefully freeze the screen when these were generated because the editing left them showing for only a fraction of a second. These are minor points, but I do think that addressing these in future content would add greatly to the value of these in teaching *both* the 'why' and the 'how' of CNC programming of these sample projects.

what about flipping the part and decking of the back side. Because it doesnt looks like what you have on CAD.

[@miniprousa]

What about the bottom part? Does the part needs soft jaws to remove the bottom portion?

[@martinmarriott3607]

Thanks for the excellent work. Can you please explain your reasons for:- 1) Setting the WCS to “Model Box Point” rather than “Stock Box Point” given that you can’t probe that specific point. 2) Setting all the references in the “Heights” tab to Model Top rather than the defaults. What is the benefit? I’m always looking for advice on improving my workflow.

[@TITANSofCNC]

It’s great especially for beginners to be able to read the code in a true sense compared to the part. Z.003 is exactly 3 thou above your top of actual part surface. Z-.749 Is exactly .001 above the 3/4 deep pocket. Etc.

[@dj280z]

I'm assuming they have done that because after the facing op the extra stock setup on the top of the part is irrelevant, but yes they would have had to have offset Z in the mill to account for the facing op.

[@martinmarriott3607]

@simon percival Hi Simon. Actually you can machine it with the WCS where Nicole has put it IF you use the Fusion WCS probing functions BUT this isn’t shown. You can actually locate the WCS anywhere you want and then do a probe of, lets us say, the back top left stock corner. Fusion knows where the selected WCS is in relation to the probe point and will offset all the machining accordingly. Without the probing ops though it does make you scratch your head.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yes, in the next video as seen on our Academy. We show that Z is set and then dropped in the offsets. Then the face mill comes across at Z 0

Boom from Metric Boys! ;-)

Thanks for the video

What do you guys use to calculate feeds and speeds?

[@TommiHonkonen]

bruh, the universe does it for you

[@TommiHonkonen]

@CMTeamCobra its a proper cam system, it does calculate feeds and speeds. Tho i am not sure if there is material library where you can say this endmill uses this feed for al and that for steel. I havent played with it too much.

[@BaldurNorddahl]

fusion has a number of fields but you need not specify them all. The rest are calculated. You can set the RPM or you can set the surface speed. You can set the feed or you can set the feed by tooth. The alternative is automatically calculated. The datasheet of the cutter has the needed information.

Ok
