Or don't convert it (if you're in inch) and just enter ........ 0.7mm ........ as the input value. Fusion will convert.

How are you setting zero in Z? Do you have a probe? Did you touch a tool? Are you using one tool to do both operations?

If you share your .f3d file with us, I'm sure it won't be a problem to...

Mike,

Have you gone into the data panel in Fusion and looked in the CAM Samples folder? Or... into the Assets folder and CAMTemplates?


PM

Timothy,

What are you using for CAM? If it's Fusion 360, and you don't have any secrecy-related issues... could you upload the F3D file or email it so I could take a look at it?

PM

Could you rotate your part 90 degrees, repost the program, and try cutting it again? If you have an axis issue, that might bring some things to light.

To me, 1.35" hanging out on a ¼" cutter...

Maybe pre-drill the blanks on another machine? Quick fixture on a drill press or Bridgeport?

PM

If you have lots of these to make, why not make some sort of palletized tooling that holds 20-30 parts, and you can be loading one pallet while the other one is being run?

Most efficient...

Right click on the body in the browser pane, then select "Physical Material". Select the material out of the possibilities, and drag/drop the icon for that material onto your part.

Kasper,

I suppose this will work. I don't really see any issues with your cutting methods -- Adaptive is very versatile, and typically works fine on parts like these.

Did you download these...

If your machine's control does not support "pre-call" of the next tool, it really shouldn't matter. I'd "guess" that lines 35 and 115 would just be ignored.

If the post you're using works...

I looked at the first model, will look at the second one in a bit.

Since you are setting zero at your table (top of spoil board, I assume), I would recommend breaking your roughing pass into 2...

Great! Glad it worked for you!

What are you making?

This was a quick stab at it. Just repeat what I did from the other side, and you should be set to go.

Here's the link to the F3D file which I shoved into my Dropbox: ...

Wow.... way to get it done !!

Corner radius:


422768

No no... not a ball end mill, just one with a bit of a corner radius. Typically called a "bull nose", but actually all that's required is a .005" or .010" corner radius and they hold up WAY better. ...

It looks OK on my computer, though if it was me, I'd probably put a piece of machinable wax in the machine and run your tool paths on an expendable piece of material before going after the real part....

The dimension between the inside walls you are machining is .438".

You're using a .375" end mill. Minimum radius was set at .0375", so double that is .075".

Add .075" to .375" and you have...

On the 2nd tab for your adaptive tool path, reduce minimum cutting radius from .0375" to .010" and you should be good to go.

sent you private msg

If you're so inclined, send me your f3d model via PM and I'll take a look at it.

truckeic,

I've made the exact same part (as you have shown above) with a 3/8" EM with zero issues.

The only difference I can see is that you have zero lead in/out, and also I selected a...

Yep.... just bump the tool length offset +.0003" and you should be good! (which makes the machine think your tool length is .0003" shorter/higher/positive than you had measured it). That way the...

fwiw The displays are easy to get off. (just make a paper thin pizza cutter wheel out of a piece of delrin -- I can send you a picture of the one I made... works much better than the iFixit one). ...

Ah... that was about the time I changed installer method on my Macs. Maybe I'm reading my own issues wrong, and it was just coincidence that Autodesk sorted out a few bugs about the time I made...

Good feedback, thanks! To me, the update process when run through the Mac App store seemed "cleaner" and faster. Doesn't matter any more though, as that option is gone. Possibly Autodesk...

Not sure how many are on a Mac, but updates are no longer available through the Mac App Store.

This will be interesting to see how it shakes out -- I've been using Fusion for about 3 years, and...

Yep... as Jim said: just select "plunge" if you are confident that your cutter can handle it in the material you are cutting (and the speed that you are plunging).

(... and if you choose to, you...

No way of knowing. You're cutting MDF on ... is it a CNC router table? Not sure what cutter you're using. If you're able to cut 60"/min in a straight line without any issues, then you "might" need...
