    Fusion 360, Automatically Adding Dwell After Spindle Start

    Is there a way to have Fusion automatically add a dwell after it starts the spindle? My spindle has a slow start ramp and isn’t up to speed when it begins to cut. I’m a little tired of editing fusion gcode to add it each time.

    hy i can help you with a small program, that will edit your file automatically, in background

    You'd add that in the post-processor for your machine. https://www.autodesk.com/products/fu...st-processors/

    M3 S1000
    G4 X10. (dwell code, sometimes F)
    Etc.

    G4 X10 or F10 on many controls is a 10 second dwell, check your manual.

    You could write a sub program named spindle start with this M3 and Dwell then store it.
