In Work Coordinate System - Origin - Selected point click with mouse pointer the required point. Go to Sketches in the tree and expand, switching on sketches till it appears. Now you might not be able to see that centre point over the left hand dowel hole. Now that everything is flipped, you just repeat everything as you did for the Top side. Change Z distance to minus 30mm and X distance to minus 110mm - OK. Unfortunately we need to do the same with 30mm Blank. Change Z distance to minus 30mm and X distance to 110mm - OK. Redrill the two dowels out of backboard, flip model ans still using washers as spacers, re-glue flipped model back to Baseboard. With a loose hacksaw blade slide blade in space left by washers and cut through dowels holding to Backboard.Your body is now released. Cut 39mm long dowels and glue them into topside holes. In workshop run the new Drilling toolpath. 25mm.īack to MANUFACTURE - DRILLING - Drill. While we're setup we'll changeover to the 8mm dia drill bit and partly drill out the dowels. We need to flip the body but we don't have any dowels hanging out on the top side to flip and glue in re-drilled holes in the backboard. Select ACTIONS - Simulate and watch for errors? That looked OK, but we have 0.5 mm high cusps to remove. In Passes tab tick Stock to Leave 0.5 mm. I'll stay with the 7.55 mm flat end mill. Select XZ plane In Model select Cup from tree. Z axis arrow is pointing North but X arrow is wrong. In Orientation - Model Orientation dropdown select Select Z axis/plane. For Stock Solid, go to tree, expand Models, expand your file (mine's called Weird shapes). You should now have a contoured blank fixed upon a Backboard. Re establish and re zero XYZ, this time on top of the newly glued in dowels. When dry, set your backboard & blank back on your CNC bed. Glue the 44mm long dowels into the 30mm blank (flush one end) and then, with 2mm thick washers sandwiched in between the 30mm blank and backboard, glue the dowels into the Backboard holes. Zero the tool on the top face, centre of the left hand dowel hole. Clamp the centered 30mm rectangular blank to the 12mm thick Backboard on the CNC table, orientating to have the axis through the two dowels parallel with CNC X axis. Mark the centre and drill two 8mm dia holes in it to match the holes in the 30mm Blank.Īfter cutting out your Backboard and 30mm Blank, cut two 8mm dia hardwood dowels 44mm long (if using 12mm thick backboard?). In the workshop, using some scrap mdf say 12mm thick, cut a rectangle 40 - 50mm bigger than the 135 x 115mm body blank. ACTIONS - Simulate to check that everything is OK? ACTIONS - Post Process and save to a file the Drilling and Contour tool paths. With mouse pointer, select bottom perimeter contour of model. Always check the actual measurements of tooling and enter these into your tool library. It's really 7.55mm dia as measured with calipers. Consider what tooling to use to cut through the 30mm? I'll use a nominal 8mm dia flat end mill. Click OK and Drilling tool path will generate.

In Heights tab - Bottom Height - From - Hole Bottom - Offset - minus 3mm. In Geometry tab - Hole Faces select with mouse pointer the faces of two hole profiles. You've now set your XYZ reference at the centre of the left dowel top face. With mouse pointer select the left hole centre point. In Origin - Stock box point, change to Selected point. In Mode select Fixed size box and change dimensions to suit. If you look at the Dimensions of the default blank it's measurements aren't rounded off. In Setup select X axis arrow and select YZ plane. The blue Z axis arrow is pointing North, so that's OK, but red X arrow is pointing South IF you want the longest width to run East West on your CNC table. In Setup tab select Model orientation drop down. By default Fusion will offer you a rectangular blank with 1mm clearance all round. Multiply the mm 2 value by 0.Select MANUFACTURE from the drop down. Multiply the cm 2 value by 100 to get mm 2

Multiply the cm 2 value by 0.0001 to get mm 2

Multiply the m 2 value by 10 000 to get cm 2 Multiply the m 2 value by 1000000 to get mm 2 To convert among square feet, square inches, square yards, square centimetres, square millimetres and square meters you can utilize the following conversion table.
