Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question. How could you go about streamlining this process, possibly creating some sort of preset to duplicate this all around a body
There were so many great techniques demonstrated in this video. I have been using Fusion for years but still dont know the power of constraints and variables.
Fusion 360's real power is it's parametric features and editable design timeline, always new stuff to learn or other ways to do things, usually I only realize after I finish a new design that there was a much more efficient way of doing it
thank you for another excellent video for cnc enthusiasts. I had one question, when adding the fillets on the mortise and selecting the plane I somehow could not select all the pieces, then when creating the circles it only contraint to the first "block" the rest I could not contrain the centre of the circle to the edge of the other blocks because it seems only the one section was selected. To resolve this I made 3 seperate sketches. How did you get it right to select all 3 blocks of the mortise to sketch on?
If that happens and you can't select the lines, press p to project the lines into the sketch you're working on for the fillets, then you can select the lines that will become sketch lines linked to the geometry below Sometimes the plane gets in the way and you can't easily select the lines you want, you can either make a selection priority in the top menu or you can hide a sketch in the browser that is in the way
I enjoyed the video. I learned a lot about using Fusion 360 from watching it. However I do not fully understand the finished product. You went back and added rounding to the Mortises but the tenons at the lowest level still look pretty square. How will it fit right?
The lower parts of the tenons are perfectly square because they are outside corners. The CNC can cut square outside corners but not inside corners. Tolerance and fit for CNC parts discussed in this video th-cam.com/video/W8AcI8LkIrg/w-d-xo.html
@@WhatMakeArt Thank you. I've enjoyed watching your video. I do have one more question please. Could you point me toward a resource for doing toolpaths in Fusion 360? I've found plenty of videos on how to make the mortises but almost nothing on cutting out the shape, and cutting out the shape+tenons on the other piece.
This video shows how to make a toolpath for the shopbot th-cam.com/video/_G-0i8BFEFs/w-d-xo.html These videos have tool path creation at the end, although from earlier versions of fusion 360. th-cam.com/video/GqXQ8TdzYRE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/I6FEMdtcrpI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/GzknioA34F8/w-d-xo.html
Post any Fusion 360 CNC joint questions in the comments
Man! that was the cleanest fusion 360 design excution I have watched till date that was flawless and intuitive. This made me a subscriber
Glad it helped 👍

You can use scripting to make an add on in fusion 360

Some great work flow nuggets!

Dude you just blew my mind

@@WhatMakeArt I watched the videos and unfortunately none of them go into the toolpaths themselves. Do you offer any type of 1 on 1 training?
Email is on the channel about page for more specific inquiries
Do I have to use the Mach3 program to run cnc processing?
No, you can use the program of your choice
Is there is zero tolerance between the Mortise and the Tenon?
This video shows ways to add specific tolerance in Fusion 360 th-cam.com/video/W8AcI8LkIrg/w-d-xo.html
