How to Get Started with a  

O.K.... I can't use the PROPER EXPLETIVES to say just how valuable this video is! Talk a out precise, concise, and whatever else 'case. You sir, have just saved me and many, many others time and sanity! THANK YOU!

Could you please do some more videos like this, it was a great help

You guys are doing God's work out here helping us newbies out. Bless you.

This was the most awesome and useful video ever, when thinking about jumping into CNC I have always wanted to see how to program (CAM) load then setup my material then hit go! This is a video that no one has done (Like this). Thanks to SMW for producing this!

Great video, only knowing the CAM side of Fusion 360 I should really spend some time to figure out the rest of it.

Great introduction video! Even though I had some experience with a desktop cnc mill for designing my PCB's it was very intimidating to hit the cycle start button on my 1100mx when I ran a program for the first time. Excellent work.

Really nice step-by-step video.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this.

When are you going to upload your IMTS 2022 tour😇

Thank you so, so much

Great video! Is the CAM workflow identical if I were to use Inventor CAM software instead of Fusion 360?

thanks for the content, could you help a fellow community member with a question? How do you get fusion to output the WCS G54 P1, P2, P3...? Thanks!

That was great thank you!

Wish I had the $,$$$ to start up my own😢

What's the best way to learn CNC and Fusion. I plan on buying a 440.

Hello, I am still running mach 3. What would I have to select for generating the .nc code???

what if you wanted to face the part how much would u have to put on the top of the z if you dont use relative size box?

I don't understand why you put Z = 0 when the Haimer probe was on the surface. How would PathPilot know to use the Haimer length then? You just entered it as tool number 99. How would PathPilot know to use tool 99 height and not any other random tool height??? Is 99 a magic number?

If you don’t enter the tool height, you will need to zero the tool at the raw stock every time

Wow Saunders really has all the garage "machinist" sold on these fixture plates. Are you guys aware these plates and pallets are just machined plate stock? The Tormach 1100 plate is $799. A 35x12x1 plate of 6061 is $286.09. Saunders would charge me $3538.91 for a 40x16x1 plate with "pro" hardware for one of my machines. I could buy the stock for $442.08 and machine it to my machine. oh, and this includes his little vise because Kurt, Orange, Raptor, Shunk, and 5th axis haven't got it right. This is crazy, people buy these plates and don't even get a real vise. You guys are just paying him to do what you should be doing, machining. he gives you the prints and CAD files.

You made this 5 years too late!
