Part 2 - Toolpathing a Go/No Go Gauge with Fusion 360

- In the previous video I showed the process of creating a dual station vise with soft jaws and joint origins. As well as how I drew and positioned the component in the vise.
• Part 1 - Creating Join...
In part two, I create the soft jaw cutouts and add the toolpaths to CAM the softjaws and the component.
Kevin a small suggestion, with the second set of jaws are we cutting air on the last 2d adaptive? (I did say it was a SMALL suggestion, before I get murdered by someone in the chat😃)
Nice job Kevin, you are an excellent teacher!
G'day Al. I second that opinion mate. Kevin is my go to guy, when I get stuck on Fusion360 CAD-CAM. Hope you're well buddy? Cheers, Aaron.
What are those weird measurements that you constantly keep using Kevin. What is the conversion rate now for 1 banana to millimetres please?
Well since metric isn’t worth 💩, I’m pretty sure 1 mm = 1,000+ 🍌 😁
You know I believe that every single person on this planet is born with a gift. Many people never find their gift. Kevin, you my brother obviously found your gift. You are an excellent instructor/teacher. I am definitely going to email you about your classes you offer and a quick question here; When you were creating operations on for the soft jaws; I notice you copy/paste instead of using duplicate. Is there a difference? I use duplicate for the same setup and a c/p if I want to copy an operation to another setup. Much gratitude for these in depth videos! Well done!
Thank you so much. You are too kind. Ok are you ready for the subtle difference between duplicate and copy? If you duplicate an operation, it is placed directly below the operation that was duplicated. If you copy and paste an operation, it is placed as the last operation. So had I highlighted the adaptive and the 2D contour and duplicated, the browser would have showed adaptive1, adaptive1 (2), contour1, contour 1(2). By copying and pasting it kept the copied adaptive and contour in order and placed after the existing contour operation.
Does that make sense?
@@MechanicalAdvantage it does. Thank you for the explanation.
Great display and explanation of workflow!
Kevin, a question on the tool path for the front jaws: What was the reason that you dropped the optimal load to 0.15?
And excellent tip about turning the sketches off.
It may have been ok at 20%. I’m going about .875 deep with that cut. It won’t take very long to Mill that pocket so I thought I would back off just a little bit since I’m going over 2x diameter in depth.
Shit Hot!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey Craig. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for dropping by.
I think you do a great job walking through everything. You clearly have a mastery of the software and applying it to your processes.
One thing that I questioned, was your WCS origin points. You said you wanted to use the corner of the fixed jaws, which makes tons of sense to me, but then you picked the corners of the jaws that I thought would have been the moving jaws…
I might be showing my lack of machining experience, but isn’t the center of a double vise the fixed part and the outer jaws the moving jaws?
Hi Russell. On this vise, the center part works as a wedge. As you tighten the screw, it forces the the inner jaws out. So with this vise, the rear jaw and front jaw are fixed by sets of teeth that mesh together with a fastener that goes into a t-nut. Once those are positioned and tightened down, they don’t move anymore. Then the center fastener is tightened to apply pressure to the wedge to create the clamping force.
@@MechanicalAdvantage yeah Thankyou. I just watched your machining vid and that became clear pretty quickly. Nice work.
I enjoy your content. You do a great job
Wow, some really in-depth CAM tips in there! I will need to watch that a few times to take everything in!
Thanks so much for the awesome content mate.
I could do it a lot faster if I didn’t have to explain everything to you guys! 😜😂😂😂
@@MechanicalAdvantage 😂😂
@@MechanicalAdvantage What's that supposed to mean?🤣🤣
Now now Kevin….. some of your most ardent fans/students are OFs like me…. no, not you Rob 🤣
I too will need to watch this multiple times in order for my brain to catch up with your instructions 😎
Lightning speed apart mate….. this series is BLOODY FANTASTIC 🥳.
Can’t wait to see the Post and the actual cutting.
Regards,
Robert
😁
Thanks Robert ☺️
