Explaining how to make toolpaths and exporting them as gcodes from Autodesk Fusion360. This makes it possible to use the g code files in other controller software like the Universal G-code Sender (UGS)
In the video I say that I use 1000mm/second, this should be mm/minute! :)

I like that you used a simple model to explain because most tutorials use really complicated stuff that is hard to follow when you're getting started

[@WillysGarageNorway]

Agreed, thanks 👍

Now I am a CNC Programmer, You were my first teacher. Respect Sir....!!!!

[@WillysGarageNorway]

Hehe, good to hear. Thanks! 😁👍

[@vapubusdfeww1353]

I have a doubt, what is point of learning G code if we are able to generate the code with this type of program?

[@sofiakhan4356]

@@vapubusdfeww1353 to be able to interpret them. It’s like when we learn to make drawings by hand when we have design software present

[@RyanNiemer]

This was one of the easiest to understand tutorials i've seen.... planning on getting a CNC soon and trying to learn some basic Fusion 360 steps before I get the actual machine. Thanks again

[@WillysGarageNorway]

No problemo, thanks fir watching and the feedback 👍😁

[@stemwisevids]

Very basic and very simple. This was exactly what I needed. I watched some of the Autodesk CAM tutorials but I kept feeling like I was thrown in the deep end. This one started me off just right. Since I use an Arduino based machine, it was even more perfect. Thanks!

[@WillysGarageNorway]

and thanks for watching :-) This is exactly the reason why I made this video

[@Martin-uj6zn]

I know this is outdated but its by far the most concise and simple video to follow for a complete newb on F360 cam. Thank you!

Thanks Willy !

ian bertenshaw I’m glad it helped you 👍🏻😀 I made this video beacause of the same problem you had. I missed an easy introduction how to make a simple g code. The rest we can figure out as we go 😀

[@carlwheeler3403]

On a side note, I tried using this procedure on several 6 mmm holes with a 3 mm countersink. After about a dozen attempts I was successful. I initially tried doing the 6mm hole and the 3mm countersink for all the holes in a single tool path but I ran into issues. I broke it up into 2 separate tool paths (1 for the 6mm holes, and the second for the 3mm countersink) it worked perfect.

[@grahamfrench8403]

Thanks, I've been using CNC for over 30 years but need to upgrade my software, my program at the moment just 'ring fences' areas to machine in 3D but wanted to check if Fusion allows you to select individual surfaces which of course it does, this will allow me to cut down on machining everything again and again with progressively smaller cutters.

[@soaringhal]

Hei Fredrik.
Quick tip, when selecting the plane for your sketch choose the X/Y plane at the beginning (so the blue arrow point to the "blue sky")
Then you dont have to redefine the XYY directions of your stock :) Thank you for sharing :)

Now that you are using grbl, take a look at estlcam, ist can run on a arduino mega, with lot of in/out pins. :-)

[@WillysGarageNorway]

I have used Estlcam before.. If you look at my 500 subscriber plaque video you can see I use that program :-) It's good software and I'm going to use it more in the future :-) But if i design things in Fusion 360 it's lot better using it to make toolpaths. Thanks for watching 👍😀

[@WillysGarageNorway]

[@curryandapint]

Great video and thanks a lot. I'm having one problem though. How do you align the starting point in the tool path with the machine? I create the origin in 'Stock box point' to the top left front corner, select the same spot on my CNC software (Grglcontrol Candle) and the tool always does a little 'walk' before starting the job.
(if interested read below)
I can 'work around it by milling some polystyrene to see where the stock should go but I'd rather understand how to align the starting point with the toolpath and the stock. I've got a small 3018 'Woodpecker' machine btw.

[@WillysGarageNorway]

If you have set your origin (zero-point) in fusion like you mentioned, it should be where your machine starts the toolpath. But if you have set some kind of zero-probe option in candle(I am not familiar to that program) there could be a pre determend offsett from your set zero point (origin point) I would check over the preferences in candle software and make sure there are no offset sett to any of the axis. Let me know how it goes👍

Hi there, I meant to ask if you can do a tutorial video of profile cutting some letters of the alphabet from some cheap 3mm plywood. This will then teach us how to use a different method of CNC by profile cutting with tabs so the inside part doesn't move. I would love to learn that from you.

[@WillysGarageNorway]

Ciaran Whelan Hi, that sound like a nice project. I would also like to learn a bit more about tabs. Thanks for the tip. I will try to make the video soon ;)

[@CiaranWhelan]

That would be awesome. I have had a bit of a play around with the tabs and these seem very easy. I love that you can make maybe 3 passes of 1mm, and the last pass can be the tabs at 1mm thick, and 3mm wide. It gives you options to space the tabs etc. But I have not really done more than that nor have I done any profile cutting of Ply. I think if I have that video as my starting point to learning more about my CNC, then I can cut some letters out of MDF or Ply for my girls to paint up and have fun with them.
Have you seen how expensive letters are from craft shops? My goodness, maybe a 6mm piece of MDF could make so many numbers and letters etc.
I look forward to that video for sure, as it will actually be something that I will like to try. And thanks again for these awesome videos.
