Spectacular timing. I have been building random tools while I am down here on the Ice to practice my model building skills. Guess what I just finished modeling yesterday! Time to practice my assembly skills. Thanks for this one. Great timing and great video.
This is the kind of info I needed when I was re-drawing the vice we did for the WIYB giveaway last year. Thanks for sharing this, John! After a year of practice I'm about ready to actually draw that vice up again the right way. :) Best wishes, Tom Z
The peril of switching units: all your numbers are random while they would be probably round if you had stayed in ISO units. I'm really curious what Fusion would try to do if you activated collision detection, in my experience it was extremely slow and buggy (as a software developer, I know why). Edit: after testing with the same model, the pitch of the worm gear is 5mm, and we can use a collision set between the 2 jaws to limit the movement in one direction, and it's modeled with the jaw wide open, so 0mm can be the other limit. Don't even try to use a collision set involving the worm.
John, my newly modified cnc router, cuts hot rolled steel at 1.64 inches per minute metal removal rate. at 15,000 rpm, my chips are hot blue but my end mills is COLD, not even warm, but COLD. I am so excited I wish there was some way I could show you...
Love your videos, Im a solidworks user that relaship system seems a little odd, In SW just add a follow relashship and a few surfaces ones. I was thinking about switching over to Fusion to get CAM built in im currently SW then Bobcad or Visualmill. But i stoped paying so im a few years back on all. I know you used SW whats yourfeeling on the two was the learning curve switching over bad?
I see it was already mentioned, but in my Jr.High Metal class (1963) it was drilled in our heads that it's called an 'open end adjustable wrench.' Never call it a 'Crescent Wrench. That's a company's name!' 'Never forgot that. Times change though.
i wonder how many people know what a ditto is. But yes, I agree with Xerox...etc. But I always thought that Machinist,Mechanics, et al were really adamant about the correct names of tools. Please correct me if I'm wrong John. Come to think of it I am wrong. Everyone knows if you say you want a Crescent wrench you're going to get a OEA. Answered my own question.
John, do you know if there is a way to export a .dxf from fusion 360. Can you show how you post the CAM to the machines? I can spell CNC at this point, but that a about it.
Couldn't this be done with a "contact set" between the sliding and rotating part, too? Sort of how it works physically -- the slider will slide because the screw is pusing on it.
I asked because it doesn't appear to be mounted in your mill anymore, thought I recalled you having an issue with it in another video, I have been on the fence about buying one and trying to decide, I thought I saw John Grimsmo removed his also, I was just worried they were buggy or something.

Best discription of linked joints ever👍
Great video, thank you John. I find joints in F360 to be particularly unintuitive, so your videos are especially helpful!

Wow John, that was a great video! Good detective work. I was wondering how you would have figured the pitch of the gear out.

excellent Video. Just used measure to find pitch just a little quicker
John, since you use Fusion both on Mac and PC, do you notice a performance difference between the two?

Are you going to machine this? (that would be awesome!!!)
Maybe a good project to try out the VM3 when it arrives.
Gameboygenius Good point...
can you do a vid on drawn toolpaths and useing sketches as stock contours, there is not enough info out there on them
I will send you a file what shows what I mean the vid would be better from you, you don't have a speech problem most people don't like silent vids
Open end adjustable wrench.....

Cool!
Motion limits could have been added to finish the model.
Wouldn't the inspect tool be easier&faster than a new sketch?
Quick test showed me that Fusion can't measure the same curved path at different points. Bummer.
why do you no longer use your ATC on your tormach

Just loaded up youtube, uploaded 4 secs ago, GIMME GIMME GIMME
I'm addicted to your videos
you gonna machine this out, or what?
