One of the great things about 5Axis CNC machining is the ability to use a shorter tool to machine areas of a part that would otherwise require tools too long or too small in diameter! Using 3D Contour in Fusion 360 with shaft and holder detection, we can program a "simple" 3axis feature but have Fusion automatically convert that 3axis toolpath into a simultaneous 5axis toolpath to ensure the tool and tool holder clear the part!
We did not like the jerking/stuttering motion in the linking/height retract moves but, thanks to Laurens Wijnschenk from 3D Tech Draw, we were able to get a nice, smooth tool path!

I discovered machining as an adult and am grateful to have found something I love and can share with others. We hope NYC CNC not only makes you a better machinist but helps you understand and learn more about how to succeed as a manufacturing entrepreneur! 5 Reasons to Use a Fixture Plate on Your CNC Machine: https://bit.ly/3sNA4uH
