Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely trying to target the fab community with them and not just someone drawing in fusion. Real life application! Have a great day.
This is an awesome demonstration, I’m an old school guy who has no computer for this type of fabrication. So unfortunate that I also have a computer literacy. Hopefully I can see you doing one of this video with adjustable squares and ruler. I’m Andrew from NYC. Never the less I appreciate your time for making this video. At least I must say that I have learned the basics.
Hi Andrew! Thank you so much for watching! I do appreciate it very much. We will have plenty of other stuff to post along the way! Appreciate you joining. Have a great day.
Adapted your technique for use in Solidworks by using the Split Line, Offset Surface then Thickened Cut (in place of the push pull functionality of Fusion 360). Seems to work way better than the standard technique of using a ruled surface (at least in my use case). Thanks so much for the great video!
That’s incredible! I’ve never drawn in solid works before so I’m really happy you were able to make it work! Thank you very much for letting me know. Have a wonderful day!
Hey thanks! I know they are boring but they are good fillers and educational. Selecting the inside of the tube rather than the outside normalizes the coped profile when using the split face command. There are so many ways to cope in fusion and each one has a slightly different end result. Exactly though, since a laser would stay stationary and the 4th axis would rotate negatively extruding the cope almost gives it the same profile it would have if it was cut on a 4th axis laser. 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for this. Very helpful. Don't know if this is your area of expertise but what I need is CAM advice on how to generate a tool path to machine an angled notch on a CNC miller . I thought this would be straightforward but does not seem so easy. ?
I run cnc machines and do all the programming but without the model and and the machine and tool information I can’t be any help. Tons of videos on here to assist in being able to cam complex features. Thanks for the kind words! Glad it helped. 🙌🏻
Great video. Next step is how to use F360 to make bend charts similar to what is possible in BendTech. It is great to be able to model something, but if the data from that model can't be outputting to usable data, then the model is useless.
@@hourglassingenuity103 Were you ever able to create a process that would do something similar to Ben Tech in Fusion 360? It would be especially helpful when working with out-of-plane tube sections.
Awesome stuff Brad! Didnt even think to use the split face tool, have always used the combine tool, and used the piece of un-notched tube as the tool body and use the cut function. This method, can most cnc tube notcher companies work with the step file of these types of tubes notched this way??
Thank you for watching! That way works too! The split face tool for me just gives me nice normalized and even material thickness notches and it’s easiest for my work flow. Yes, I have sent many .STP files with tube notched exactly this way to laser and plasma and they were able to work with it without any issues! Have a great day!
Really interesting, thanks very much. I’d not heard of fusion but have just done a quick search on it & see there’s a free version for hobbyists use. Have you used it Brad? If so does it work well? Is it an easy program to get to grips with? Many thanks
Hi Andy! The free version is the same version that I pay for.. you can use it for a year and renew it when you’re trial is up. I only pay because I use it at my day job everyday. It’s a wonderful program. It works so good! It’s very easy to pick up on and I will be offering frequent tips and there is so many videos showing great tips. If you have any other questions please reply. 🙌🏻
Great video! I'm currently designing a tube chassis and have not been able to figure out a way to export my drawing so that a CNC machine can bend and notch the tubes. Are you aware of a way I can achieve this?
If you create the smallest break in the tube/pipe, then you can flatten it out (as seen here ua-cam.com/video/DwwP2hQ586I/v-deo.html) and print it giving you a paper template to utilize in the shop. I'm more versatile with Solidworks but knew you could do it here as well. Preciate the knowledge though.
Yep! I just want to make these simple to follow with one step at a time. Thank you very much for watching. I haven’t seen that video but have already made a video on flat patterns, just haven’t posted it yet. Solid works is great! Just out of my budget.. thanks for watching!
Incorrect. Only works for 90 degree joint. The cope face will have too much material left on the od of the tube at the heel of the joint and will not fit correctly.
Thank you all so much for the support! Means the world to me. Have a great day!
Holy mother of GAWD, I literally downloaded Fusion 360 last night! This is huge tip. Thanks a ton. Stay up!
Thanks so much for watching!
Perfect timing... man I’m loving your fusion tips PLEASE keep them coming!!
So happy you find them helpful! Thank you for stopping in and watching!
Good stuff, as always Brad! Love the software videos.
Thank you for watching! 🙌🏻 I appreciate it. I think they are probably a little boring but at least you can learn something! 🤓
Keep up fusion 360 videos, they are much better than other ones because you are actually manufacturing parts.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely trying to target the fab community with them and not just someone drawing in fusion. Real life application! Have a great day.
I’m so grateful I found you man! Keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you so much!
I have got to get on some of that! Never used it, but definitely learned something here today! Thanks Brad!
No problem! Thank you for watching!

As a amateur solidworks user, this video and this comment has been very helpful. Cheers lads.
Great video and tip! Does the negative extrude help to give that even material thickness vs just deleting the separated body?

Yo!!! thanks so much. so much easier than my botched method
I’m glad it helped! Thank you!
@@hourglassingenuity103 you guys make the tig holders too? or is that a different hourglass on insta?
@@kaidesign01 yep. That’s me!
Excellent video - totally learned something today!
Did you make a video of actually fabricating these tubes?
Thanks for this. How do you create bevels for end chamfers? What about pieces of pipe cut with mitered chamfers?
Awesome video 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it very much!
Thanks! 😊 Great video! 👍

Yep, typically it’s then transferred over to bend tech and then we go from there.. I’ll see what I can’t throw together 🙌🏻 thanks for the comment!

Is there a fast way to apply the ideal cope if you have to modify a bunch of tube that has a basic cope that’s not ideal for weld?

@@hourglassingenuity103 Brad thanks very much for the info. I'll download the free version & see how I get on. I'll look out for you tips & tricks
Fantastic! Have a wonderful weekend. 🙌🏻 happy time help anytime, let me know.

Is it possible to weld the notched tube in fusion itself? I mean in the actual design
so good
Thanks for watching!
how does this translate to the welding table?
Elaborate please
After you draw this up, do the joints get made into a template/pattern for use on the bench?
I would send these off.. have them coped on a laser, formed on a cnc tube bender.. and then they would click together like legos!
@@hourglassingenuity103 ahhh.. so completely useless for someone in their own garage.. Gotcha lol

4 years later fusion is sadly still behind.
Awesome video. Thank you very much.
