I just had this conversation yesterday morning. This is definitely one solution. I found a good method for me is leaving cusps with a semi finish cycle( roughing cycle) to then come back with a finish pass. I also recommend a different corner radius between semi finish and finish as a benefit to break the chip. Good stuff.
Hi NYC, I am a 46 yr old who got started in the machining trade when I was 17 in 1995. I progressed from a machinist (manual; occasionally running/pushing buttons on CNC's but rarely. Mainly alot of manual machining) to a mold maker in the plastic injection molding industry, to eventually a Tooling Engineer designing all types/configurations of molds (I could go on for hours but you get the point I am sure). I have been a Tooling Engineer for many years now, still do some machining/high tolerance surface grinding. Anyway, tons of experience in the machining trade, except programming of CNC's until recently wanting to see what it would take to get good at programming. We have Fusion 360 so I found your videos, man you make it pretty easy. Its been fun learning this software! You have a great channel, just wanted to say thanks for all the tips/tricks/instruction!
Did this for the first time a few weeks ago and the controller on my machine (Mitsubishi, MAPPS IV), just ignored the backwards motions and fed smoothly to the bottom. Used excel to edit the code and alternate G1/G0 and it worked a treat. Probably could fix in post but it worked for now.
Are you able to post for the Williman from fusion? If so how or who wrote the post? We have a Nomura Swiss and would like a post for fusion. Any advise to find a solution would be great! Thanks
does anyone have any advice on trying to learn the lathe side of fusion 360? I am able to use fusion 360 for 3 axis milling work. But the lathe stuff has been harder. Any good videos?
I enjoy fusion , but over the years. I've learned it's 40% jank 60% okay. You can't even import a index drill a lathe an use it in the same operation applied as a boring bar. Fusion is okay for low tier or medium production shops anything more. It's completely outclassed by solid or OG MC
Fusion turning is pretty tragic. Too many nonsense settings in the software and they are missing simple stuff. It takes way to long to program stuff and then make sure it works. I usually end up just using the conversational as it is way quicker. Maybe someday they will actually put some effort into turning
Not really missing. Too many settings that are unecessary like lead in lead out crap. They should have variable feedrate and variable rpm to get rid of vibration by now.

I like that cusp idea. 6061 ID work on small diameters is the bane of my existence. Might try that.

Thanks for the helpful tip, John.👌

Thanks John. Appreciate these short tips videos.
Very nice, thanks. Charles
Good Job! 😎

I was really hoping for a real demonstration. Mainly I just wanted Willy to have more screen time.

What in your opinion is missing from the software that are simple settings?
Not really missing. Too many settings that are unecessary like lead in lead out crap. They should have variable feedrate and variable rpm to get rid of vibration by now.
Oof
