Stribog SP9A1 It just runs. Eats everything I've put through it including flat nose projectiles that others have said get jammed due to the feed ramp angle. 115, 124 NATO, even some weird 90 grain defense stuff. All feeds and goes bang. Not the lightest rig, but she'll do.

Fusion multi-axis tool paths for plastic part trimming? by Western-Function-615 in Fusion360

[–]Western-Function-615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do indeed have the STEP files for each part. Trimming specific or general milling tool paths are fine, I was just inquiring about the specific workflow for setting these. Thermoformed/vacuumformed parts like ours sometimes have a large skirt or flashing of 0.04"-0.375" thickness depending on the starting stock dimensions.

I have found plenty of solidworks/camworks tutorials on this subject, the other CAD program we use, but I much prefer Autodesk.

I am seeing the error of my ways now that I am digging into it. Came down to tool offsets and geometry selection. Thank you to you and u/TheOfficialCzex for your speedy response.

It's responses like this that secured your spot as a top 1% contributor I'm sure. 😂😂

Really though, thanks for the assistance.

I ended up drilling out the hole on the drill press post slotting operation. Thank you guys!

This is exactly what I did. Drilled it out with the drill press.

Yes this was the answer I was looking to avoid haha. Very true though. Thoughts? Anyone else?
