If fusion 360 has 4th axis capability, its hard to find. I'm looking at the multi axis tab and it lists three options, swarf, multi axis contour and flow. The descriptions for each of them don't...

I am still working on the model and I will post it when its done. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to do it with SprutCam and I'm using a test model that's just a solid of rotation of a...
I watched a older video from sprut on this topic. No audio, but the general idea he presents is to do all the roughing work with several separate flat milling operations where the A axis is rotated...
For this discussion, I am going to call the piece of material I am cutting the "workpiece" and the thing I want to end up with the "model."
I have been playing around with the stock value and it...
I am struggling with SprutCAM v9 to try to get decent toolpaths for some rotary machining. I generally use Fusion 360 for CAM, but it will not handle 4th axis stuff, so I have gone back to SprutCAM...
Found the answer, Upgrade to PP2.16.
The logfile now appears on the home screen list of files under whatever name it was assigned in the g code file.
I am trying to get smartprobe.ngc working on my 1100 with Path Pilot 2.0. The G code for smartprobe stores the log file (probe-results.ngc) in the same directory as the path pilot .ini file. Can...
I recently bought a holder for round inserts that I intend to put in the turret and use for profiling smooth curves. I tried to set up the round tool in the offsets table and discovered that there...
I found a .3745 ream on MSC. Thx.
I need to cut a bearing seat into the end of a piece of 4130 tube. The tube is 1/2 inch with an 0.083 wall. So that's .5000 OD and .3440 ID. The seat needs to be 0.3745.
I can drill and ream to...
Does anyone know whether the conversational will allow left handed threads? I need to cut some, but I don't see anything on the conversational screen that allows you to specify that the thread is LH.
I am considering the purchase of a 15L. I presently own a PCNC1100 with SprutCAM9. Will this version generate G Code for the 15L (with the 15L postprocessor)? In other words, do I have to buy another...
Thanks for the response.
Yes, I am aware that I can place the cutouts in one operation and the perimeter in another. I was wondering if it was possible to select the order of several cuts that...
I have been working with SC9 for a few weeks, and many aspects of it are making sense. But, I am having trouble getting it to machine operations in the correct order. I thought that it would order...
I have not experienced either of these problems. Therefore, I suspect that you are having software conflict problems of some kind.
I believe that I see the problem now. It is very sensitive to where you hover the cursor. If I zoom in on the hole and search a bit the brown highlight does appear. Thanks.
I am new to SprutCam, but I have used other CAM before. I am struggling with Sprut9. I watched the Sprut7 videos from Tormach, but when I use some of the techniques, they do not work. For example,...
