For a beginner you did a great job. I have zero experience in cam so I hope I can learn from the comments. Great machine for a beginner btw. Subcribed!
Nice! A few things to consider: Don’t face the whole stock if you’re going to be machining the faced portions away. Could probably have just done some surfacing work on the little bit that was left from the original facing. Save time, tool change, and simpler. Definitely want to do minimum retraction on a tormach since the z axis speeds and acceleration is lower. Linking tab on all the toolpaths. For adaptive definitely set it to minimum and stay down amount to most. Compare estimated machine time before and after. Also, definitely want to optimize your feed heights. Retract the bare minimum to clear the stock or to clear the model on features that are lower. Z speeds are slow, minimize those. And the week after you switch to floor coolant you’ll wonder how you did without it. It’s a pain, annoying, etc, but tool life, surface finish, machine time, they all benefit. Take the plunge. I really liked your parallel toolpaths on the different angles for each facet. Aesthetically that was great!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate the feedback. One of my favourite things about TH-cam is the ability to reach people who all have something different to offer! Comments like this are the main reason I started making videos.
@ It’s amazing, isn’t it? I’m glad you’re making videos and hope to see many more! I’ve only been doing cnc since 2019 and it’s been a whirlwind. Always fun to see the paths people take. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for watching!
I like how the endmill hyped itself up at 1:43 haha
you can set "keep tool down" in the linking tab for the 3d adaptive
Thanks for the tip. I’m still very new to this!

First of all, you have a +1 sub :), Second we want to see more machining, Third we want to see your car :)
Thanks for the sub! Definitely more to come
You can use "flow" for ball nose tool, nice strategy
Thanks! i'll give it a go next time.
What software are you using?
