This is awesome. It really goes to right direction. I do not yet have any CNC machine, but Fusion takes the fear of having one of them go away. If I was thinking about this before, I was scared and thought it is too complicated and I have to study for machinist for 5 years. Now it is a piece of cake! Thank you all guys!
no offense but an intro should focus on tool library and tool orientation, nothing your showing will happen without it. for example: so far many of the micro tooling types i use typically fusion wont even recognize especially not in a gang type setup. apparently theres a few tricks here and there, but should it be tricky? not really an intro when you already have everything fully set up and ready to generate paths.
Great tutorial except that you should really be using a boring bar for the internal features. As a machinist there is no way I would ever try and use an O.D. turning tool to do an I.D. feature. To many places for tool interference with a square peg in a round hole. I understand what you are trying to show, but somebody without experience in machining wouldn't know this is not the proper tool for I.D. work
+Don Jones Great feedback Don. I'll create a couple of custom tools in my next video to capture the boring bar. Unfortunately we don't have one in the standard library yet.
Nice video sir! I've been wondering how this g-code/CNC controller will know where the tool is in relation to the part once you flip it around to do the backside. I have a couple parts I'm planning on turning that'll require them to be flipped around for operations on the backside.
how did you set your facing depth of cut?? in Milling cam , it generally assumes 1 mm when in metric.. I dont see the tool touching the face in turning. GOT it .. that imaginary line was 8mm offf the face.. I needed it at zero..
Hello, thanks for the tutorial, is it possible to make the turning start from the outside in? I need to use a counterpoint and the trajectory that it generates collides with the tailstock ... Thank you!
How do I set up a gang lathe where I back cut? It generates gcode for a front cut and it’s ok if that’s what I was setup for but I have right hand tooling. I’d like to set up for both left and right hand so It can profile from both sides.
Hey Todd, at 2:50 Curt mentions he already had the body. He would have made it as you make any body...likely a simple sketch (circle) and an extrude. The finished body is the main geometry of the design. Hope that helps!
Autodesk Fusion 360 Thank for the reply. I am also turning. My finished part is already a sketch which I revolved and made a body. I want to machine my part from a forging, which I also need to sketch to make it a body. Can I do multiple sketches in one design??
you have draw that from looking customer drawing. same time you could write it hand on cnc reading drawing.lol. thats how pro wor. why need cams that post process more lines than cnc has even memory. any change you do have to go back to cam. takes time. more errors.when i change some on directly on machine i only need change one number. why cam lol
You must have tons of experience. Most people don't. You definitely get more power when using CAM on a more complicated part, but for an Intro video, what do you expect? haha

Doesn't work, keeps saying shit like no inside profile. Doesn't recognise features on a straight through bore of a cylinder using these steps. Followed it step/by/step to the tee. 5/2016 atm.

Oh my. This multiple setup functionality is fantastic.
Thanks for another great video! Please keep 'em coming because they really help.
Dude, that was an awesome video. Need more people like you out here in the shops.
Thanks! By doing this we CAN be in everyone's shop!

Very good video
good video Curtis, could you please do one on mill turn, how to machine using the Y X axis amd C X axis
Thank you
+SandfloMek It's coming:-)
Great video, Nice work :)

Could you create a tutorial on face grooving.
GROOVY BABY YEAH!!!
how did you set your facing depth of cut?? in Milling cam , it generally assumes 1 mm when in metric.. I dont see the tool touching the face in turning. GOT it .. that imaginary line was 8mm offf the face.. I needed it at zero..
That is great, now show some post processing for some tool paths.

That's a bit beyond my capabilities. Can you pose the same question over here.... forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-manufacture/bd-p/2070
Please can you make a video presentation for Routers? I'm working in furniture industry.
Can we do G42 Nose radius compensation in fusion 360 ?
How did you create the body for your stock? And then create a separate body for the finished part?

Most definitely you can have a near unlimited number of sketches in a design!

Not everything can be hand programmed. I garuntee you arn't hand programming an injection mold on a mill. It would take a lifetime.
no need cam hand write so easy part. thats done 5minute hand written on machine. lines max 100 vs cam 500000 lines
