2 Example Fusion 360 CAM files for Pocket NC

[Randy Kopf]

Hi everyone!

From an earlier request I am creating this post for anyone that wants to see a couple Pocket NC / Fusion 360 machining examples... They will help you see how to set up a few different machining tool paths. Follow the links below to download the files from my Google drive as I can't attach a file using Google Groups.

DISCLAIMER: Please use caution with any file that you do not actually create yourself, that is if you actually attempt to cut a part. I am not responsible for what you do with these examples.

The first is a Fusion CAM file example themed from Fallout 4 the Video Game.

Click the title of each file below or copy and paste the link into your browser

This next example is using a couple advanced CAM functions. 

One is a compound 4th and 5th axis fixed tool path

And the next is use of an NC pattern to cut all around your part.

You will need to import the example files into Fusion using this button...

Next from the CAM Workspace you need to select Manage Tools Tab

Next you need make sure to import the tool library that matches the machining file example.

WARNING If you actually plan to cut the part you need to load those tools and update the Tool lengths that match your cutters. OR change the program to use tools you have already defined.

I can't edit this post once I make it so hopefully the instructions are clear

If you have any questions message me direct at randy...@gmail.com

Be sure to check out my blog with lots of Pocket NC projects in the works.

And see tooling that is specifically designed for the Pocket NC. 

I may offer some of these items for sale if there is interest. And the tooling will add lots of flexibility to using your machine. 

FYI I am very satisfied with my Pocket NC and it is performing extremely well. I hope these examples help!!! And lets make more parts.
