Glad to finally see videos like this. Need more of them! One thing though, need more real world examples. For example, when you did your op3 finish cut. Your roughing op left alot of material at your start and finish positions for the finish cut. Real world, that would cause problems, break tool, chatter, etc.
There are definitely some tweaks that could be done on this part, as in all parts. The area you mention we could just move the roughing a little closer to the vise, and use less lead-in/lead-out on the finish to still do a finish pass without cutting into the roughing radius's. Thanks for watching.
@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials How would you go about machining closer to the vise without cutting the part off completely? Would you have to duplicate your part and extrude the end further into the vise? Then use that duplicated part for your volumill operation? Thanks again! I really hope this is the first of MANY videos like this to come out.
@@cruch9 I redid the toolpath, and this is what I changed. In the Volumill toolpath I changed it from .500 clearance to .300 clearance, then on the finish pass I changed the arc-in from .200 to .100 and moved the start point to just .050" from the end, and when you run the simulation the finish pass does not even touch the radius left from the Volumill path. Can't attach a pic, but it looks good.
@@cruch9 In 45 years of machining I have done most every kind of machining. You are forgetting this is a tutorial, feeds/speeds are at your discretion, as well as rough stock and finish stock. Slitting saws have changed dramatically over the years, and indexable insert slitting saws are very common, and you would be surprised how aggressive you can use them, but like I said this is a tutorial, your choice on how you want to use them. Thanks for watching!
Yes, GibbsCAM can open Solidworks in one of two ways. 1) If you have Solidworks on the same pc as GibbsCAM, there is a link in Solidworks to automatically transfer your part file into GibbsCAM. 2) If you don't have Solidworks on the same pc as your GibbsCAM is, just open the Solidworks .SLDPRT (part file) or .SLDASM (assembly) from within Gibbs. Since both GibbsCAM and Solidworks run on the Parasolid kernel they are totally compatible. Once in Gibbs if you need to manipulate the Solidworks file you can do so without having to transfer back to Solidworks.
@@mohammedalbasha5968 Hi. This post looks like it came from Productec out of Switzerland. They usually designate their posts by the ProAXYZ name. This would be their web address. www.productec.ch/en/ They should be able to help you with their post processor.
Don’t for get when doing an operation make sure to add comments to that operation that will make it easier on the machinist to know what that tool will be cutting

Also guessing you have never used a slitting saw? Lol. Anyways thanks for the video.

You are listening to what people want and it's greatly appreciated.
Thank you for watching !
You obviously are listening to what people want and it's greatly appreciated.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Awesome
Thanks for watching !
Those are the videos GibbsCam needed thanks for the video please keep them coming so we can learn faster lol.
Thank you for watching!
Do you have any videos on wrapping geometry on a cylindrical part ?
This one goes through how to do "wrapping". th-cam.com/video/rwIBEGZC5mc/w-d-xo.html
Guys who have solid works ? Can use Gibbs cam ? Can any one explain me please

Hi. Where can I go to download some solid models to practice on gibbscam?
If you email me I can supply you with some models to practice

Thank you, you are exactly right ! Thanks for watching
