Fusion 360 Tutorial | CAM Basics 

The very first tutorial that the producer talked at a pace I could follow and absorb, Simply great. 80yo from down under.

You've shown me everythng I needed to know in ONE video, where 50 other videos did not! Absolute gold dude! Would love to see more of these, starting with milling gears ;)

As a newcomer to hobby cnc, this is by far the best tutorial I have come across. Concise, easy to understand, and beautifully depicted with a real world example that Id be happy to make for myself. Thanks Austin. I've subscribed and smashed that bell, which is not something I do very often.

This is Gold! The most comprehensive, informative and detailed instruction for Fusion CAM that I could find anywhere - and I have been looking for one like this for weeks. Thank you for the great work.

Such a good tutorial. You really explain relevant things in detail. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Excellent presentation, thank you very much! I really appreciate the precise explanations and comparisons between options, really makes things clear.

This is the best, most coherent fusion360 cnc tutorial I've seen thus far. You're a good man, Austin.

Dude... just thanks, you really took a thoughtful and methodical approach to this as if you were someone who never did this before, I learned probably more here than I have on some of the professional guided videos. Thanks!

Good job! I’ve seen 4-5 other videos from big name professionals and yours definitely competes. Super thorough and your pace is just right.

This is by far the best video in a very niche topic. You cover all the topics in your channel that I want. Cheers!

@Asutin this is absolutely the best F360 tutorial I've seen, thank you. Your content is gold, now a Patreon subscriber - Can't wait to actually do the parametric neck and fretboards with my 1F.

This is probably the best tutorial for a CNC beginner, a step by step guide is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Searched high and low for a video to show me how to transfer my designs from Fusion 360 to my CNC for woodwork. This is, by a long long way, the best video out there! Really well structured and at a pace a noob can follow. You should do more of these types of video!

Your Videos (all of them) are a valuable contribution for all, can't thank you enough for your time and efforts. Just sharing these video with friends has enabled them to buy a CNC machine.

Best tutorial I have watched on Fusion 360. So many are out of date. Loved it.

Really appreciated the pace and thought in this - VERY helpful!

I'm very happy you came up RIGHT AFTER NyCNC. I am so happy you are being put right there after probably the #1 RU-vidr!!!! Congrats and thank you for all the work you have done. I'm making furniture but I was stuck until I found your neck tutorials.

making a custom shift knob for my advanced manufacturing class. this video has helped so much. thanks for putting out a quality video on Cam. :)

Best video on cam I have seen. Thanks for the great explanation!

I'm so glad you're going in this direction. These videos have levelled up my game so much!

This is gold standard RU-vid content. Thanks so much for making this. Incredibly well paced, great information for a beginner like me trying to understand tool pathing for the first time. Its rare and refreshing to find someone who can take such a complex thing and break it down and walk through it so effectively. Thanks!

Wow!! The most comprehensive, informative and detailed instruction for CAM Fusion 360.

This has got to be one of the best Fusion 360 CAM tutorials out there. Even better than ones made by Autodesk! lol Great video thank you for making it!

This is the first Fusion 360 CAM tutorial I watch in which the author takes the time to explain every step of the process instead of just going through the motions and assuming the student will follow. The "what" and the "why" are essential to comprehension and learning. Not every RU-vid CNC machinist understands this. When you've been doing something for many years, it becomes second nature and it's easy to forget or completely overlook how complicated or confusing it looks like to an absolute beginner. Teaching skills is a skill in and of itself. Thank you!!

Hi Austin, this is the firs time I am on RU-vid I am blown up how good you are explaining the flow. Thank you.

Austin, congrats on an incredibly well done tutorial! As an Engineer I've taken lots of classes and watched lots of videos throughout my career and this is at the very top for pace, simplicity, thoroughness and practicality! I've been a fabricator and car builder all of my life and I'm taking the "plunge" into CNC just now and while I know the basics of Fusion for modeling (and have used most of the other packages over the years), I had NO CLUE how to develop programs for CNC in the CAM side of F360. This was a stellar jump-start for me! Thank you!

This tutorial is possibly the best one on RU-vid for this type of thing. This spells out all the basics in a simple, accurate way. Austin, thank you very much.

Thank you for not stating out with a 6 axis turbine wheel. Thank you for cover so many details. Looking at the adaptive tool paths really makes me appreciate the value of F360.

I just finished watching the entire video and it's SO GOOD, that I feel like I owe you money!!! Can't wait for the upcoming videos. I genuinely enjoy this. Again, hats off!

This is really a Perfect tutorial for what I'm trying to do for my first project. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was stuck and was about to give up. Appreciate the effort that you put into these tutorials. Thanks heaps

That's is so helpful, very informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this Austin. I've just finished building my CNC and learning fusion 360 so this is a blessing👍🏼👍🏼

Austin, you are a very patient teacher. When I fisrt opend the video, I am like I'll watch just a few minutes, but I ended up watching the entire video in one shot because you explain everything to a lay man like me to comprehend.

That was for me very easy to follow and keep up with you as you went throught the project, first time I have found a video were I was able to keep up.. thank you for making this video.. I will be watching more of the videos you have made

What a breath of fresh air, I so appreciate your taking time to go through this project. Almost as intense as flying a plane! I will prepare my check lists for this whole process, I've mucked it up way too much to date and saw every wrong move I made on this video. Thanks again, look forward to the next video.

An Extremely informative video. Thanks you've explained manufacturing the way I needed it. Thanks, looking forward to more.

Dude, your videos are awesome. Thank you so much for uploading.

Excellent tutorial, clear, concise and easy to follow. I have search and watched many tutorials on this subject and none measured up to this one. Thank you.

Ecellent tutorial. I've been struggling but watching this has helped me significantly!

Great tutorial! Showed me exactly what I wanted so that I can start using this and learning more!

This video is excellent! Fusion is not easy to pickup quickly and the level of explanation in this video is well suited for the beginner. Thank you Austin.

Yet another great tutorial! Very useful information! Thanks a lot!

Incredible tutorial, thanks!! Understood it, agree on the pace. Very well done and thanks.

Excellent work. The 2D Pocket detail is what I was looking for.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything we need to know about this new CNC world ,, you explanation are so clear and perfect for me as a beginner

Awesome tutorial man thank you. Alot of other ones just smash through the settings side of things which is all well and good if you arent a total noob but for somebody just starting (me) it is very helpful information.

I'm 15 minutes in and am already apprecaiting this video! Thanks, Austin:)

Hi Austin, very good, clean and understandable walk through. In terms of both clear, accent free voice, grammatically correct sentences, no studdering or fillwords like "ahm, you know, ..." or big pauses and further more a good through thoughtful concept. Not everyone is capable of this. Furthermore the content is excellent and well balanced for the given case. Thanks for also not heading around the screen with the mouse, but pointing on the important things, stay there, stay long enough on the tooltips so that one is able to read them - you really got the idea 🙂 I just got a used CNC mill and already working with fusion for 3D printing. So this gave me the most important things to get things going. Thanks a lot. A little drawback: no metric system (SI). I think, it will take decades until this reaches the whole world. My calculator, pencil and paper are sitting right next to the video for basic translation of measurements 🙂Nevertheless, I know this is common in machinery world. Cheers from over the ocean, Axel

By far the best video I've found. Great job.

This is an awesome video! Feel like I need to watch it a couple more times.

Agree with the other comments.. This is one of the best tutorials I have watched for Fusion. :-) Subscribed!

Explained very well, easy to follow steps. Thanks

Fantastic, pace was perfect, very understandable, thank you

This was an excellent tutorial, thank-you so much for posting this video!

Brilliant job, Austin. Thank you so much!

Excellent example! I am getting setup for a new Carvera machine and this is so helpful.

This is fantastic thank you so much, you have enabled me to cut my first CNC job. 😁👍

You have a real talent for this! I create training videos for a living (other domain of course) and can confirm the excellent quality of your presentation. I'm new to woodworking/CAD/CAM and just learned almost all I need to work with my new CNC. The only question remaining for which I can't find an answer (maybe just because the question is too basic): when you have a component assemble 3D model, for example a box with inside dividers, do you need to flatten everything out on a copied version or is there a way to do it from the original 3D and create the G-Code for the CNC?

Just what I was looking for. Thank you, Austin.

This is the best tutorial for me. Thank You Very Much.

Thank you. I learned a lot from this well done tutorial.

Awesome videos, gave me lot's of the basics to get me started. Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing. (Also from Down under, but not so old 😉)

Great demonstration. Thanks for sharing!

Wow this is one of my favorite fusion 360 videos!

Thank you so much for this. it was a great help for a beginner!

Just randomly stumbled over your channel, immediate sub. This is amazing content!!

Great tutorial, thank you. Just fyi for anyone reading, you don't have to manually adjust "stock top" every time if you choose the "rest machining" option. If this is selected it will automatically only consider stock that's left after the last operation.

This is an excellent tutorial, very detailed...

Thx you clarified quite few bits I've been struggling as a newbie

Excellent tutorial, I've learned a lot, Thanks.

Thanks Man! Great tutorial.

I like how you explaind the details.

good tutorial covering the basics, thanks!

Just brilliant. Thank you!!!!!

Wonderful tutorial! It helped me a lot!

Beautiful video. Great explanation

Thnk u ..it's worth the watch .. 👍🥰..Helped me a lot

Thank you for sharing this tutorial.. you save my life...

A brilliant tutorial. Thank you.

This is excellent. I started learning all this 2 years ago but I only just found this excellent video. Damn the algo

Very useful and well explained! Thank you

Great instructional video, very helpful!

Thank you for an excellent video!

This is gold, thanks!

Hey, great job explaining this. I'm just getting into Fusion 360. I came from 20 years of SolidWorks and SolidCAM. This helped me get up to speed.

These are so helpful!!! Thanks!!

Very nice tutorial. Thank you.

Great job explaining!

This video is great, thank you!

Thank you vey much for this tutorial :D

thanks Austin, I like and subscribed in 5 min without you even asking.

Again, another great video. I too have an X-Carve, it would be interesting to see what modifications you have made in another video. I'm sure this will a good supplement to the end to end tutorial of creating a guitar with a CNC.

I carry the same knife and pen combination. They make a great EDC.

You just gained a subscriber my friend !

best cam tutorial on yt

Really an awesome video - one of the most helpful ones I have discovered so far! One question: When milling the outer shape of the box, your router is performing a lead-out for every singel round. The default setting, however, is to make only one lead-out at the end of that job - which means that the router tries to pull through the whole thicknes of the material - which of course does not make sense. Where did you activate the lead-out for each pass? I only find this option for the finishing ("Leads on All Finishing Passes") - where in my opinion it does not make too much sense...

Really good tutorial.... Thank you

ty I got all info I needed :)

Excellent video! :)

very good thanks a lot for the video.
