Yep, adaptive with an enclosed boundary is what I prefer to keep loads constant. I find that the required is about ~1.5 times that of a contour since you can take more aggressive, more consistent cuts with adaptive than with contouring.
I had seen you do this on another video and hoped this video was coming. I always forget I can add more geometry in sketches to handle boundaries for cam, that offset command with adaptive is awesome!
As much as I like Aspire, you are giving good reason to expand into Fusion 360. I agree with Kevin Yang . . . keep up the good work and entertain us with plastics. An intro to using Carbide 3D Copper for PCB's would be helpful too.
You say adaptive can be about double but in the first example it was 10 times as long and the second with stock adjusted it was 5 times as long. It’s also a LOT longer in reality for people who have the free version as there are no rapids.
Great video!!! I am wondering if you could also make videos for cutting plastics like acetal (Delrin), or composites like phenolic, or glass-filled / kevlar-filled nylon? Anyway, keep up the great work!!
@@WinstonMakes Great! I want to see all those. And if you crack the natural nylon code I will be impressed, its a nightmare (and supposedly requires annealing for 40 hours haha). Im going to toss my nylon in the trash I think, I cant even drill it properly.

I knew there was a video from you on this! Thanks Winston this is what I needed!

now you tell me!! i had the hardest time cutting out my aluminum using a profile path.. no go! thanks for the tips Winston! :)

Quick and to the point! Thanks.
Great video!!!

I'll get to Delrin soon. HDPE and Acrylic are ahead of it in the queue just because that's what I have on hand. I'll see about the others...

Thanks Winston, great info as always.
very helpful thank you.
Thanks Winston
Can someone point me to the right direction for calculating optimal load? Is it derived from the other speeds and feeds value such as IPM or SFM?
The secret to improving your 2D contour toolpath is... don't use 2D contour toolpaths
