Fusion 360 How to Flip a Part for Op2 

Excellent video for something that is rarely covered, 2nd op. I know the video is 3yrs old, You don't see many videos on cutting soft jaws for 2nd op, which almost all of my parts require.

Clear and 100% beef! No fluff ..best tutorials out there .. confusion 360 should ire u

I know I am late to the game here but your content is excellent. I have just started running production using pallets and there are a ton of little tricks in your videos that have helped tremendously. Thank you for the tips and keep it coming!

Well done sir. As always, your videos are easy to follow and you cover everything in detail just like your training class!

Your videos are god tier for learning fusion 360 tricks thank you for what you do.

so many good nuggets in these videos. the view with fixtures stuff is awesome, and i've never used 2d contour to do the floor like that, super efficient!

As always great video Kevin.

Awesome Kevin. Thanks for doing this video. Very helpful.

Dude, you're like a shortcut wizard!

Thank you for explaining why you set up a wcs @ 4:35. The other f360 vids dont really give the why.

I'm kind of struggling with flipping a part to mill that hat off and having the top side matching up when I perform a 2D contour on the bottom side. I'm definitely doing something wrong because the top is has an offset from the bottom. I probed the left face of my fixed jaw, probed the inside face of the fixed jaw and used a square to make sure my part was perfectly flush with the left side of the jaw and I'm still having an issue. Love your videos btw. I've learned a great deal from you so far, thank you!

Excellent info Thanks!

You did the easiest part anyone can figure out. now do it with two or more parts.

I'm really glad I watched this. I knew about the fixtures, but not about the visibility. I do a lot of soft jaws and having to turn them on and off when I flip the part gets tiresome. lol Those two visibility settings ought to fix that. :) Thanks!!

WELL DONE BROTHER

Great thanks.

Thanks Kevin, that was some really great info, and extremely clear teaching. I have a quick question, on the first opp, you drilled and tapped before facing. Most videos I’ve watched, always face mill first. Is there a reason you did this after the drilling cycles? Thanks, Rob.

Hi, Very nice vid, and gratifying that it’s pretty well exactly what I do. Pretty well 90% of my work involves flip and deck. Annoyingly, for the last few months, the jobs have been only ones and twos of each design. So I can’t get really efficient with fixtures etc. The workflow has been to do the first op on the haas mini mill, a few parts in one bit of stock ( arranging those parts for that op is a pain, any tricks you have would be appreciated). Then parts bandsawed out of that group and over the tormach for the flip and deck. Sometimes stay on the haas for that op bit mostly the tormach as I have a probe on that machine, makes locating a breeze. The added wrinkle on the flip and deck is many of the parts need soft jaws cut to hold the curved parts. I’m doing ok with that but if you want any suggestions for future vids I’ll vote for something on softjaws. Again, thanks for doing these vids, I always learn something. Alistair

I have the education edition of fusion, in the preview preferences tab I do not see the option for rest machining. Work around for this? thanks

Hello Kevin, another amazing video from you. I am trying to find and turn on the "Continue Rest Machining" in my preferences. No success unfortunately. I scoured through the whole list of preferences and can not seem to find that under previews. Any idea on how I can get there? Your help is appreciated.

I do not have a tool changer. So i want to avoid tool swaps. So I made a fixture to run the front and back at the same time. So stock goes in one side and cut. Then gets flipped and moved next to it. So i have one piece that is stock for op1 and one piece that is cut and flipped for op2 on the same fixture. I can run 1 tool and work on the back and front with one tool change. My question is, is there a better way to program it? Im currently programing both front and back as one work setup.

If im programming multiple parts it doesnt carry over to op-2 it gives errors saying to make sure the same model is selected?

Did everything you did and it won't let me cut from the bottom

If I have different positions for different operations like moving from vise to fixture can I transfer the machined state of the stock after that operation over to another position for the next operation.

What kind of work holding is best for this type of part?

Setting up like this is fine, but won't you get errors while generating your NC code?

Am I missing something? The first operation the Z axis is facing down? Second op facing up. I don't see the flip. If I do the same thing my tools still try to come in from the original side?

It's better to do the most complex side side first. The you just have a 'hat' to mill off.

Cnc is so complicated. With 3d printer you just throw that part in cura and done xD

Absolutely fantastic video up till this time in the video -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkwolhfatxU.html You are choosing a lot of parameters like stay down, stepover, roughing passes and it would be much better if you told us why you choose 80%, why 10 roughing passes.... That is what is always difficult when something that sounds like 2nd nature and simplistic to you, is at least over my head.

It confused the shit out of me not having the view on the little cube the same as your labels.
