Hi Lars, great content as usual. A comment on the Tool library file. They are Jason files which are basic text files, thus can be edited in a simple text application like notepad/notepad++ . So in your case where a tool is not present you could have taken the Manufacturers PDF, and added your cutter to the default tool library. You do this by following a like tool section of code (you will see in the file each tool has a definite start and end to its section) already in the Jason file, and wola you have your specific tool available. Further once you understand how these jason files work. Copy a manufactures library so you have the base structure, then compile all the cutters you have in you tool box into a single file, deleting any tool you don't own, call it a customs name something like Lars Cutters. Once that works, this custom library by modifying each cutter feeds and speeds to match your machine, which should save you setup time in Fusion, and save you having to search through rems of cutter details you don't actually own. I hope that helps
I used to use as built joints as you showed in this video and the last. But I now use the Rigid Group command. With it you can select the top level component (or multiple components) and check the Include Child Components, and then everything is assembled with rigid joints. This is much quicker than doing many As-Built Joints.
Another great learning episode. Two things of most importance for me: 1) creation of stock through sketch + body when in cam and working with multiple bodies to cut 2) the "trick" at the end to do a dry run. With the CNC machine I have (a Maslow isk (m2) ), i lose workstation home. The dry run will allow me to figure out where i originally had put it on the stock! Thank you.
Very helpful. Great to have work through when things don’t quite work out. Anyway you can change mouse pointer to have a spotlight on it as easier to follow
I'm about to begin a college course for CAD. Found out today that the app of choice is Autodesk Inventor which is a shame because your videos are great! 👍
Great to see the tool path details Lars. Id be keen to see how you would go about designing and machining joints. I.e. rather than screwing flat butt joints, machining in pins and sockets.
Lars I just watched your how to get started with CAM Tutorial and although there is an emphasis on engineering in it? I wondered if you could please do a tutorial on a guitar neck we are having problems with incremental cuts I'm trying to get it to step down .5mm on each pass on contouring the back of the neck and failing miserably. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
You should do over/another video using the "Arrange" feature. You have a pattern of speaking slow and clearly(loud) which is good followed by fast and muddled(not clear) which is bad.
It’d be cool if fusion had a dovetail option that when you select a corner it would add a dovetail connection! Also why stop at dovetail..... why not have all types that you could use without drawing them in!
Hi Lars, Great stuff. If you email tech support at tools today they will email you a digital file for fusion of the tool they don’t have on that big list.

Lars, How did you ever find 2 pine boards with a knot in exactly the same spot.... its a miracle ha ha .... awesome video bud

Hello Lars, you are back again. I like your videos as well as the content. Greetings from Hamburg

Hey, your back.. glad to see new vids
Great to see the tool path details Lars. Id be keen to see how you would go about designing and machining joints. I.e. rather than screwing flat butt joints, machining in pins and sockets.
Thanks Lars, great video. But one question. Why use 3d adaptive clearing instead of 2D adaptive clearing?

Hi Lars I enjoyed your webinar, and I designed it to be made on a 3D printer.
It’d be cool if fusion had a dovetail option that when you select a corner it would add a dovetail connection! Also why stop at dovetail..... why not have all types that you could use without drawing them in!
Great job -- I loved the video and learned a lot. Why did you use and adaptive on the holes? You could have just done a bore or 2D contour -- I think.
Learned a lot form this video! Thanks Lars.
I feel like I need one of those stepcraft cncs in my life
Nice job Lars!
Hi Lars,
Great stuff. If you email tech support at tools today they will email you a digital file for fusion of the tool they don’t have on that big list.
Thanks Lars. Hope to have one StepCraft in the future :-)
What’s the best way to get a video request! Thanks great video!
This was the perfect introduction. One question though...What are Bad Snacks for a Block Party??? :) (1h 6.05s)
Awesome video!
3:07 you're awesome Lars!
please speak into the mike.
Where subtitle ? :(
