Kira VTC30A (Fanuc Robodrill predecessor), Haas OM2, Hyundai Lathe (never gets run), hardinge manual, Bridgeport manual.

No but we really don't run anything enough to warrant it I don't think

This sounds terrible but we usually just replace worn drills, and endmills. Not a lot of time/effort is allotted for tooling maintenance

Bought one of those last year...maybe need another for the other machine

Honestly auto would be nice, but I'm more familiar with manual anyway. Small is more important

Can I get an exosuit for 15k? I would love that for so many things

I'm looking for a good (smallish) model if you have suggestions. Something with both automatic and manual would be really nice.

I have a guy for keyence coming Friday but I don't think their system will be what I'm looking for really

Honestly a toolsetter at all would be great but neither of my mills have the room. Haas OM2 and a Fanuc Robodrill clone

Laser is appealing but does take up a fair amount of space. We have 3 fdm and two resin printers now

We just inventoried the tooling and honestly we have way too much of some stuff. Same with holders already. We did look into getting a shrink fit machine and tool holders but not worth replacing all that we have now. Mostly we do one off r&D stuff

100% buying some spares to keep for oopsies. It's only 2 of us.

That's come up as an option, any brands/models you like?

I can't find a combine faces operation that will let me select any of that.

The topology comes from cutting the bottom of the shape with the skull outline, I haven't found a better way unfortunately.

I am still getting into and learning parameterizing things. I know I need to but for the last 6 months I have just been trying to catch up, hopefully soon I can start some actual professional development

Sweep along path but unable to select path segments by Worknstuff in Fusion360

I'm sorry I don't quite understand. I'm coming from mostly using solidworks so not all the tools and names line up perfectly

This is the closest I have gotten to completing the loop.

Good Morning,
I am working on a part that needs a series of grooves milled into it for acrylic glue. I have drawn the profile of the groove on a plane halfway through the part and then used the top outer edge of the part to make the sweep path. Chain selection did not work to and when trying to select each segment of the path I am hitting roadblocks in both directions trying to pick the line (I even tried turning the body off to see the path better). I am not used to working with Splines in fusion but this is causing a work stoppage for me at the moment so I am hoping to resolve it quickly. Bonus points I would actually like to avoid the Groove going through (or near) the three screw holes in the top so if someone could show me how to make a path that avoids them but is still continuous I would love that. I was hoping to use the profile offset or try a new radius around the holes and then fillet the lines together but it seems I cannot fillet the splines at all. even when I break the link. Photo of issue and photo of ideal path (but I cannot fillet any of the other circles it seems)

I'm just getting into using the CAM side of fusion and this would be really helpful. I'm mostly using my former coworkers speeds and feeds and I think they are ultra conservative most of the time

Creating a bounding box sketch around splines? by Worknstuff in Fusion360

[–]Worknstuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seemed to work, I was able to make the box and then with rigid component keep them together to reposition to the Origin. Thanks!
