great to understand multiple positions especially the numbers for the different offsets
Your videos are perfect for me to learn Fusion. Keep them coming.
That is awesome to hear Gary Monroe .Thank you for watching the videos
Lars, I learn something important with every single one of your videos !!
+1 here lars, getting smarter every episode!
That is awesome to hear Daan .Thank you for watching the videos
Thanks Lars, I was really struggling with the Work Offset and fighting errors when trying to generate the G Code. This helped me work through the issues and understand to process better. Now I just need to learn how to stop braking my Bits.
That is awesome to hear Art Gehr .Thank you for watching the videos.
Second issue might be feeds and speeds :-) Good luck!
you prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Colt Braden Instablaster ;)
@Joseph Braden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Joseph Braden it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
So helpful! Thank you!
you can also use a gage block to pick up on an edge under an overhang or otherwise inaccessible to your chosen edgefinder, just remember to add/subtract the size of the gage block.
Hi John Galt Thank you for watching! And for sharing the great comment
Awesome video, I really want to get into using multiple WCS's, this really helped clear things up. One tip that has helped me a lot, when I know I have to flip a part and features have to line up and match the other side I like to use the center of the stock for work coordinate zero. I have a video on my channel called "don't zero in upper left corner" explaining why. Helps me use the same G code file with slight differences in stock size.
Hi Mind-Aker Knives Thank you for watching!
Great video!
Best,
Lars
Fantastic , thank you very much for the great explanation
haas is G154 and a p number ie G154p1 g154p2 g154p3...
keep up the great work. lars i love the videos and can't thank you enough
Thank you GregorySRad
Really helpful...well presented
Dear sir, I've designed a CNC machine where I've used linear rail and ball screws. All linear rail(slider motion) and ball screw(revolute motion ) animation work perfectly. I wanna do a animation where if ball screw rotate by revolute motion, then according to the rotation of screw, the Linear rail slides will move back and forth. But when I add the two join by motion link, they are not working.
I'm working hard and soul but still unable to solve the problem.
Please could you help me?
Please could I share my design so that you can check it?
Thank you.
Hey Lars, thanks for all the useful info. One quick question: Say I have multiple operations with one end mill. I want to machine the parallel sides of a rectangle, while the other two sides are being held down by clamps. I then have a program to machine the other two sides with the same tool. I do manual tool changes. How do I add a stop in the code to allow me to swap my clamps? I currently create a copy of say tool 1 and name it tool 2 (but there is no change) so the machine stops. Then I hit resume. I know there's a way just hoping you can clarify for me. Also, say I am making multiples of the same part, lets say 3 pieces. Each has their own zero point (G54, G55, G56). I want to minimize my tool changes. Say it takes 3 tools changes to complete the parts. How do I tell fusion to use tool 1 to do operation 1 on all 3 pieces but using G54, G55 and G56 as the starting points? Same for the remaining tools. This is so I can minimize tool changes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hi Engineer_23 Thank you for watching!
1, I think I would break the operation up. First chain the two parallels with a contour operation. Right click setup and select Manual NC to create a stop. Then another operation to machine the other parallel sides.....I think....
2, Only way I can think off would be to create multiple setups and drag and drop operations in the order to minimize the tool changes. So lets say you have three parts... Have Setup1 Setup 2 Setup 3 with your Face mill and then Setup 1 Setup 2 Setup 3 with your Flat endmill.
I might need more coffee before I answer RUclips comments :-).....Have an awesome day!! And thank you fro the great questions.
Lars, probably a very basic/stupid question, but how do you add the manual stop?
SOOOOOO helpful!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
You are so very welcome 👍😊Thank you for watching
I have a 3 pieces arrangement, how do you actually select the tree components to be milled? I chose #1 for the WCS Offset and #3 for the number of instances. I have 1 set up, with 1 operation (2D countour) in it, the simulation looks all right but once allready in the CNC the code cutted the 3 pieces 3 times. 2 times in top of the first one, meaning... it -air cutted- the pieces twice, after cutting them the first time
If I have different positions for different operations can I transfer the machined state of the stock after an operation over to another position for the next operation or do I have to model it myself.
i love you lars
Thank you Haakon Bledsoe Love you too :-)
so I followed your instructions , worked well except one thing.. The machine is milling thin air 7mm above the part, I know its an offset , but cannot figure out where?? The tool is approaching correct and all that, but milling thin air .thanks.
Hi Rob M Thank you for watching!

Hope this is helpful
hi lars, there was an option tab on the setup for multiple WCS systems, what is this for. You used multiple but did not select.
Hi Cullera Drones Thank you for watching!
That will let you have one model on the screen, but post out multiple work offsets. Almost like a sub routine. So you could have three vises on the machine, but only one model on the screen. The code would have the code posted three times with a new work value at each one.
Hope this makes sense
In a multiple work offset, will Cam complete one work offset first before moving to another offset or it can also cam simultaneously with same tool for all work offsets?
Hi Sunil Saxena Thank you for watching!
No, when you are using the multiple work offset option. Fusion will just copy the code and stick another work offest in front of it.
Best,
Lars
Sorry , but could not understand. If one of my tool is common for all 3 work offset will Fusion move to all work offset one by one after machining with same tool before changing to another tool?
Yes, if you are using the check box for multiple wcs on the setup menu
anyone can share post processor for Mazak M-32?
I missed this last Friday since I was traveling. Glad I got to view it tonight. My question is how would you go about putting this into one .nc file? I know you can run each .nc as a stand alone, but I like it when completing all cutting on g54, and my Tormach stops with an alert saying - Flip for g55. Not the most important thing, but I'd like to do this. Would the only way to do this is generate g54 and copy the gcode to a document, then generate g55 and paste the previousg 54 gcode at the top line? Or is there a way to combine both setups /g54 and g55 into one .nc within Fusion? HUGE thanks for all you do! You make learning fun :)
Hi erikj7 Thank you for watching!
You can right-click your setup and insert a command manually. So at the end of operation 1 you could could insert your stop so it will stop before reading operation 2 (g55)
Hope this is helpful
Best,
Lars
Hej Lars! Thanks for responding. I know what you're saying about putting in a M1, but my question is more about having 2 or more setups with different work offsets (front and back) all in one .nc file. Let's say with your example part (though I'll change the scenario a bit), you machine the top, then flip it over to machine the bottom(all done in one vice). I would think in Fusion you would be able to select two setups and hit post process, and Fusion should create code for both setups, provided each setup's WCS #s were set to 1(g54) and 2(g55). I'm pretty sure I've seen John Saunders do this. I feel I'm missing something so incredibly basic, yet I still can't figure it out many months later. Maybe I have a setting unchecked preventing this option for me? Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi lars
I think I replied to this comment somewhere else, right?
Hi Lars, sorry, I haven't watched all your videos, but I thought this particular video will be a good start to learn CAM.
I just have a question regarding probing.
When doing G54- probing your stock with "manual" probes- then that makes sense: you probe manually and set G54 on the machine yourself then in CAM you say to start your operations from G54.
But regarding those fancy automatic probing- I didn't get how the machine will know where to probe the stock?
I mean you put that probing operation, but how can machine know where to do that probing operation if we didn't tell it where the stock is sitting in the machine?
And sorry, you might have covered that in another video- I would appreciate if you could link me with that one.
Thank you!
Hi namoD Thank you for watching!

10:17 that is tupiest i ever see. so in gcode you dont have ANY single real measure from real part. workofset is on part corner not stock. if your stock change you change ofset, but not need change program. did get it? if you program using using stock you ned new program.lol. cam guy vs machinist guy. i see
As long as it cleans up in X did doesn't really matter on the first op anyway smart guy.
Should just put in on center.
wow, your butchering of the english language is really something
