Create Adapters with Fusion 360

This is a quick video showing how you can use the sketch and loft features of Fusion 360 to make adapters for tools. In this example, I create an adapter to go from 100mm to 50mm, but you can use the techniques to make whatever size you are looking for.

Absolutely perfect instructions! Big thanks from my Georgia woodshop

Great Video! Finally able to use “loft” , “shell” , and “offset plane”…. Perfectly explained without all the extras. Well deserved subscription! Thank you!

This is exactly what I was trying to do. Many videos had me lost and baffled. This was easy straightforward and helped me get it done quickly!

I have mangled my brain watching numerous tutorials showing how to do this, and yours is by far the clearest thank you!

You are welcome! Glad it helped.

Short, direct and to the point without giving your life story. This was exactly what I was looking for and got me sorted out in less than a minute. Thank you for this video! One additional note, I've started exporting to STEP instead of STL, which results in a larger file, but allows the slicer to do the calculations on the curves. The result is a higher resolution curve which when sliced and printed reduces the likely hood of vertical fine artifacts showing up on your print. You get a true curve instead of a "blocky" curve.

Nice! Thanks for the tip.

In order to avoid printing an entire adaptor only to find that the fit is slightly off, I create another offset plane, sketch a circle, then do an extruded cut (sometimes called a Boolean) so that only a tiny cross-section of the upper ring prints. I then test fit that little ring and make adjustments in my CAD program until the ring fits perfectly.
Then I delete the plane and extruded cut, and repeat with a plane and extruded cut going from the top down. Then I take that larger ring and make sure it fits the saw port.
Once I know that both ends of the adaptor will fit perfectly, I will do a full print.
This saves massive amounts of time and filament.
