Clear, concise and straight to the point with no begging for funds on Patreon. Excellent. Very refreshing for TH-cam.
This is just the type of content that I have been looking for John - beginning or basic F360 tutorials to help me learn to use my new Tormach mill . Thank you! BTW the new web site is fantastic! I signed up for the premium level because It's a bargain and a no-brainer. Please keep up the great work!
Great video John. I love watching how you just do stuff. Keep the videos coming.
Great video John as ever! Just what I need for an upcoming project.
In 2021 and just used this tutorial -- still works! Very good technique. I love labels on things.
Thank you so much John, I was wondering how to do this for a stylized quiver that I 3d printer, but couldn’t find anything that worked well, thank you
You do the most useful vids dude, thanks for all your efforts!
To accomplish this in Mastercam just project the wireframe onto the surface, window select the geometry, set your parameters and your done....I did this yesterday with 4 lines of text .170 high .025 dp with a 60 deg. engraving cutter.
Great Contour selection tip! Thanks
Awsome tutorial, straight to the point. thanks
Incredibly helpful!
Life saver!!! Yet again. Thanks for this sir.
Thanks for this! Been learning a lot but how would you do this on a domed surface where the curve went in multiple directions? Say cut this on a "football" shape. Are there 3D paths that accommodate this type of machining without additional axis? Also, what if it was a raised letting and you wanted to remove the tube material leaving the lettering?
I’ve seen something similar using sheet metal in F360 so you can wrap a text all the way around the part, this will allow you to have the text walls radially from the center of the circle. It would be great if this can be implemented in fusion. Then I can actually wrap the text fully around a part
That was very useful thank you !
That was so very useful.
Great video
Thanks very much . very good
Hi, thank You for All explications, very interessting
Good
Job
Johnny
Thank you
Hi John, I’ve been following your series for a while now and enjoy the videos! What advice would you give to a guy wanting to start up a small machine shop.... Mike in Nova Scotia, Canada. Keep up the great series! I like the Brand you’re developing!
Will this work for making the text go directly through the surface as well? Or just slightly engraved?
Wow Thanks
I know nothing about machining so any help is appreciated. How can I tell Fusion 360 that I need to flip/rotate my part? For instance, say I have a cube. I need to bore a hole straight down through the middle, then flip the part so the hole is now horizontal and make other cuts. Do I need to have two separate programs for the machine or is there a way to "pause", change the orientation of the part and continue?
I just bought 2linc software wednesday to do this, I wish I would of waited for this haha.
I am wanting to engrave my company name on a tapered cannon barrel, but when I try to select the tapered cylinder fusion does not seem to recognize it as a cylinder. and when I select a non tapered cylinder I do not get the results I want. Is there a work around for engraving on a tapered cylinder and if so how do I do it.
after 30 minutes of compute errors i see this i wasn't picking it as feature. thank you for the help
gracias ese
How do I do this on a compound/complex curve? I am trying to apply text to a ring that is both curved to go around the finger and curved in profile and fusion won't let me select the surface.
Just mill this on a small diameter and you see, that the feedrate during rotary motion is slower than the X axis. This wastes time, if you mill a full cilinder and can damage your tool. Do you have tips for this problem?
i just want to know if can create text wrap in pigeon ring to ender3?
What cheap cnc machine can be used to make this on steel?
Is there a way to do this where the text doesn't get distorted when it wraps around?
Hey John, why is your Z0.0 on the top of the part? Wouldn't make more sense for it to be the rotational centre? Once you know where the axis is rotating in relation to the table. Your Z Offset in G54 doesn't need to change.
if you got a machine with TCP and PLANE function (as far as i know only Heidenhain), you can put the part zero as well as the part iself where ever you want
That sounds cool and all, maybe for specific jobs. But for general purpose, I like seeing the Z0.0 as the Axis centre. It makes the program look consistent, especially if you're working with multiple diameters.
I know that any Negative value must mean the tool tip is going below that Plane closer to the table, and depending on how close you are to the headstock, you may need special tool lengths to avoid it. The top of the 4th Axis should also be known, and thus you already know your minimum tool length requirements using the difference between the two.
When will Fusion support using variables in the text? I want to engrave parameter values in the part, so one can tell which version this is. That has to be fairly common idea with parametric CAD.
Still not supported. :(
Is it possible to use this method to engrave on a lathe with live radial tooling but no Y-Axis?
Thanks John!
Yes- It should work exactly the same as a 4th axis on a mill. I've got a similar situation with my CNC lathe.
Where is your video pn cutting the AR lower in Fusion?
This is projection of flat text onto a (curved) surface. Can you show us how to WRAP text around a cylinder? That would be the next step.
Bingo, in the industry we call this a hack job.
I've watched a couple of videos about this and it seem pretty hard to do with F360, closest i could find is using sheet metal wrapping
Lol.
I followed this tutorial, and in fusion 360, it works exactly like this. However when I post this (Mach3Mill), and run it, I get strange behavior. Fusion 360 adds g-code to move Y in addition to rotating A. So what I get is a line of dots, since the rotation of A is accompanied with a movement in Y, the cutter moves away from the part, which is cylindrical. The only time the cutter touches the part, is when the Y axis approaches 0 and A approaches 0, then, the cutter engages the part at the apex. I've tried starting the part from a clean slate, using all the tricks John specified, and it still creates Y movements.
I remember modeling text on a cylinder in solidworks. But I think I remember having issues converting it to g-code
but it seems only applicable to paid version. Can it be done in free version?
The way to actually WRAP the text is to use sheet metal tools. Its much more intricate than what is seen here.
Wait!! What happens when the preview/distance value thing doesn't come up!!!! It may have shown up for you in the video, but it is not showing up for me.
I can not put the text on the 3v model in the STL format, the text is select and the model does not
You have to convert it to a BREP solid first. Fusion doesn't edit STL files directly.
Watch out Lars!!
Is it possible to do engravings like this with only 3 axes?
AppleAssassin use the trace function John talks about towards the end of the video :)
Either that or just 2D contour like John described, but without selecting wrap toolpath. I actually prefer 2D contour for engraving myself.
Go to 8:57
Project does a better job of doing a 3D type cut in 2 axis
Hi John, big fan. I am trying to run my first 4th axis following your video. The code posted fine before I check the wrap tooth option, but when I check it, even it simulated fine in fusion 360. I got this result below. Am I missing out something obvious? Any help would be appreciated!

After using Fusion for only a few days, I must say it is probably THE most powerful and easy to use 3D CAD/CAM program EVER!!
Off the wall question, the OD is descending....slightly cone shaped....
I know nothing about this type of work, I just want to engrave saxophone bodies - not by hand
Hi... Dear
I'm from Bangladesh. I want to talk with you about fusion 360.
Actually I'm a new user of fusion 360 , I'm following your channel. Please reply me soon , I want to know somethings from you................please dear reply me...... I'm waiting for your reply
i know how to do it , but i just liked to watch your vidoes
love when you do the exact same flow and it doesnt work!!!!!!!
doesn't work
Sorry 3D
