I was pretty sure when I viewed the tutorial, the bottom of the pocket was a curved face and not a flat face, it may have been the part 2 video of the same tutorial that actually showed more of a simultaneous movements.

The bottom Bottom of the pocket was curved. and the is the only way to get the angle on the wall by rotating it. I cut ring patterens in wax on my bench top mill and I have not found a way in fusion to cut 360 degrees and do 3d cutting also. Yeah I can 2d cut all day on the 4th axis. and from all the research I have done I would have to goto Inventor to do what I want.
If you know of a way to do this I would really. I attached Ia Picture of what I would like to cut. other Wise I have to find someone with a seat of Mastercam I can use.

Our CNC Class just visited a local shop - they have 23 CNC machines and do high level medical and aerospace etc. as a jobs shop. New owners. They use Smartcam and mentioned they are starting to use Fusion 360.

We use Fusion 360 almost exclusively. For both lathe and mills. Sometimes I do use CamBam for really quick mill jobs drawn in AutoCAD.
I have zero spare time this coming week, but will see what I can muster on the ring part you imaged. I will need some quality quiet time to work on this

Well thanks I have thought of trying 3d cutting and just index it 15 degree ingriments I but I think on my machine Tere could be a line up issue.
It is only steppers and thead rod
I do, and we like it a lot, for my business was a very good move. before we was in mastercam but we find with fusion much more flexibility and fast coding. Thanks Titan I learn also 5 axys and I have to say thanks to all he teach. The first 6 month we went student edition and now we buy license for me and my 2 coders… we run lathe, router , 3 axy 4 and 5 axy parts… take me little bit to learn all functions and how to edit the post processor for all machine I have, but now we are in!

Can’t is actually two words concatenated. So it is a.not a four letter word to me. But I get your drift. Lol
