great vid & some good tips in there!
John,
These Fusion Fridays are great.
If I could say one thing to anyone who watches this channel, Is no matter how simple some of Johns Tutorials seem and you don't want to watch them there is always something to be learned. I could have cam'd all of that easily. I was going to ask John if there is a way to show in the second setup the previous setup's stock removed and presto he shows it. Love it, Cheers John for all that you are doing ;)
You made my day with the rest machining option, i was tired of cutting air and never quite understood how to make the operations learning from the previous ones. I just love when things clicks that way, many many thanks.
Holy Moly. I Saw you on Jimmy Diresta's channel!!! I still can't believe how far you've come since the days in your apartment. I wanted to congratulate you for your success cuz I love success stories. Keep going, never stop, the world is yours for the taking.
GREAT training class this whole last week! Can't believe how awesome you Jarod and Kevin are. I learned so much that I can't wait to get home and get back on my machine and get making chips. Anyone thinking about taking the courses at your facility can be assured they will get more than their money's worth. Make some new courses for next year so I can hit my employer up for another great learning vacation!
Thank you so much for making these videos. My ability, and comfort level, using CAM has increased greatly since I've watched these.
As a beginner to fusion 360 this was so helpful! Especially the tool step over etc. it's a weird transition from solidworks to fusion.
Thank you for explaining your thought process on setting the WCS. More videos would be great!
Neat on the second setup offset note !
great video, good to see the part flip, as I was never very clear how that was done. thanks John
Very helpful step by step tutorial for details I didn't know about! Thanks!
Missed a few things. :)
Didn't finish the wall of the square boss on the inside of the slot. And didn't finish the small dia post. Unless you're relying on the horizontal to clean up those contours. But. That wouldn't be advised.
Also check the simulation on the op 2 when you're facing it. It's going to create a slug hanging off the back edge that's certainly going to kick. Going to want to do a spiral facing op from the outside in so that large chunk doesn't catch the cutter and kick the part.
Nice! Thanks for another great vid!
I would love to see the machining on this part!
Haha I feel like I'm late to this party! Yet this video is helpful. I haven't done my first project on my new mill yet. This type of video, with the real world issues and the discussion is interesting. It highly informative as I am learning from the expressions and thought process behind the experimentations. I am looking forward to watching the other videos.
Awesome as always
I got my 1100 just 2 days ago and have found the FF videos a god send over the Christmas holidays. What I really want to know now is how do you set up to run 2 parts first op and second op while using to vices.
Great video. The only thing I would change is how to handle the top hat for OP2. I would first contour the perimeter of the stock then face. This would be for safety and surface finish purposes! Thanks for all the great work you do!!
This definitely looks like a magazine catch for an AR15 :D :D
That part looks very much like a slide catch/ release lever on a pistol
That really is a well thought out program, Fusion 360, isn't it? Looks like they didn't miss a whole lot. What do you think of it John? Thanks for all the videos.
I've finally caught up, binge watching you videos. A quick suggestion. When you set the Optimal Load, instead of typing 0.25 * 0.25, you can edit the expression and use 0.25 * tool_diameter. That way if we save the operation as a template, you can later change the tool diameter and you'll still get 25%. You can seem me doing at about 16:40 in this video: ruclips.net/channel/UCJT6JcjZCttm5PHnW9kWluQ
Nice 👍
I just love your vids!
A quick question if I may.
When I need to replace tools, how do I "calibrate" the new Z (zero) with the new tool? There's a technique? Tool?
Or I'm completely wrong with my question...
Thanks!!!
Could you show us how to properly mill carbon fiber ? TOOLS TO USE, SPEED and all the parameters you consider important
Forever wishing I cold leave my job in Akron and go work for you
nice tut, but one thing i cant understand, is that you ake all those settings but you don't or didnt mention what type of machine the guy is using, so maybe his machine is small so hence he use a small tool/cutter.
Can you walk through what it would look like to make multiples of this part from one piece if stock.
Hello John. First of all congratulations on your superb work and shop. I have a simple question. I have a slot to do on stailess steel and tool steel (D6). The slot have 4mm wide and 6mm deep. What do you think is the best strategy ? Use a 2 or 3mm endmill and do an adaptive or use a 4mm endmill and do a trace strategy ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks.
I have a general question about fusion: When running a cam with multiple profiles and pockets using only one 2d contour, how do you tell it what to do first?
Thank you for all of your videos. Just an observation here: the videos that I watch from your channel all seem blurry. I watch them in 1080p but they still seem out of focus, so much so that I can't read what the tabs you're clicking on say. I've always had this experience with your screen sharing. I really want to follow along. That's the only reason I'm sharing this less than favorable statement. Keep up the great work though. Just make it clearer please 😬
hi im new to fusion and ive created a very simple part that has a facing operation then a pocket. my alu stock is 6.45mm and the part needs to be faced to 6mm. however once i have faced -.45mm off the stock the pocket is still pocketing the additional .45mm from the 2mm pocket. so the tool path is pocketing -2.45mm. not too sure how to tell the program to now forget the .45mm as its been faced off.
I'm having issues getting cam to see external fillets, is there a way I can get your help?
I understand you offer a hands on class could you tell me about it?
I just started using 360, I don't have any machines that are CAD controlled. I just wanted to make drawings to see if I could catch on to this stuff. I started with a simple multiport air manifold. Round aluminum stock and drilled through from end to end, then added side ports and mounting holes. When I started trying to add pipe threads to the ports I can't find NPT in the menus. I used BSP just to do something close. It all goes fine until I get to the last hole and it will not add the threads? Same with the mounting holes using 1/4-20 ANSI threads. It will only thread one of the two holes?
What the name of this part, thanks
Would you consider waterline finishing an upstand like that, where the length to diameter ratio is so high, like you'd do with thin wall components?
Rough down say 10 mm, then finish that section, so the stock supports the upstand. Repeat to the bottom. It's a strategy I'd use for components with thin walls, to add strength while finishing, improving the finish if the component has a tendancy to chatter.
Bro, why aren't we going from face mill to say 3/4" hogger and then a 3/16" end mill to just finish the whole thing?
I have a question. How does the Fusion 360 deal with a 4th axis milling machine? And why did you switch from the BobCAD-CAM?
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I kinda had the same feeling about BobCAD after looking at one of their reps talk on some forum I went to when I was looking into them.
Now as for a 4 axis I have one and need to be able to rotate the part as it is cutting without any problems. Now I have been looking and learning from your video as I need sort of a crash course in machining as I must take near full control of making the companies own products now as I learned this is a must from learning how Elon Musk made it passed the blocking of the elites.
Now since I am already familiar with AutoCAD I think fusion 360 will be a match for my skill sets. My company isn't like your but it's getting the same start as I have a Taig 4th axis mill that I will be using to start making some of the things I need and I have to make it work or the company will fail. I'd like to get in contact with you to bounce some ideas off of you and to let you know what my company is all about as it's something big for it will be much bigger than Tesla Motors.
Thanks so much for all of the teaching videos as people like me learn very well from watching others.
Now for the 4th axis I need to act as if it's milling on a flat plain on cylindrical surface. You can tell Lakeside they have a new customer thanks to your videos :-). As the company grows I will take full control of everything that the company makes as outsourcing the work has almost bankrupted me with the very long wait times and increases in prices without warning along with not getting things made to print sometimes. Anyway thanks again for all that you have done to help and inspire us to just jump into the frying pan with both feet about machining the things we need for ourselves.
what software do you use I'm currently using Gibbscam but that software looks better to work with
mike cordero Fusion 360. Its free to download as well
hi John, i would like to mention that the resolution of your recording software has decreased since a while. Even 1080p on my Mac Thunderbolt display i cannot see anymore on widescreen the Fusion 360 buttons clearly. Did u make changes? Several month before all videos crystal sharp.
Cheers and thks for the good work.

A patreon of yours
thks for getting back.
I am sure u will figure it our. As always :-)

2:05 You say 20% of tool diameter, but then you type .25, which I believe is 25%. I don't know which is wrong, but it sounds inconsistent.
Could you explain what "adaptive" means??
Thanks! Just ordered my Tormach so I will see this first hand soon!
NYC CNC
Adaptive refers to the toolpath "adapting" to changes in radial chip thining as it progresses through a cut. So the path is adapted to maintain a constant chip load
I just can't see spending that much on a subscription for a program. I'm old school. You buy a program and it's yours to use forever. "Cloud based services" is a euphemism for "We've got your stuff hostage"
ExtantFrodo2 You technically don't buy any commercial program! You pay a fee for a revocable license to use the program. The code is proprietary and not for sale and if you misbehave the license can be withdrawn and legal action against you taken. It's all spelled out in the user agreement you click on to agree and start using the software.
I use Mastercam and they ask their user base periodically to report any piracy issues....They at least take it seriously. They also prohibit reverse engineering the code. So no I don't think they would come to your house but they would send law enforcement.
Who's talking about piracy? I'm just talking about having the courtesy to not lock your customers into using a cloud based service as their only option.
Is that how they sell it to ya? Keep your files on my servers (no choice) they're more secure that way. Meanwhile who assures my IP isn't up for grabs to anyone at Autodesk? Autodesk? Ever hear of the fox guarding the hen house?
