This video is specifically on toolpathing for a CNC lathe. There are lots of how to work Fusion 360 vids on Youtube. See lower in the section for the links to the videos.įusion 360 is a great 3D design tool that is free for private/educational use. Including three by Chris Cain :-) showing how to design a part and cut it specifically on out lathe.

There are a number of good 'howto' videos on youtube If you have never used a Lathe or CNC machine at all before the learning curve can be a little steep but should be manageable. Obviously take care when using, if you are unsure of anything ASK SOMEONE a good place to ask is the google group or #CNC Slack channel.

It is NOT a scary, hard to use machine and is available for use by any member without induction. The Novaturn lathe has been in the space for some time and has had very little use to date.

5.2 Chris Cain's Fusion360 Post-ProcessorĪ benchtop Denford Novaturn CNC lathe, typically controlled by Colosson computer.With John’s expertise, engaging teaching style, and wealth of tutorials and resources, students will be able to take their CNC machining skills to the next level. Overall, NYC CNC is a top channel for anyone who are interested in learning more about CNC machines and machining. This is a great resource for students who are looking for specific information on a certain topic. In addition to the main NYC CNC channel, John also runs a second channel called “NYC CNC Tips & Tricks” which features shorter, more focused videos on specific topics related to CNC machining. This makes the channel a great resource for students who are looking for additional help or support in their CNC machining studies. The channel clearly explains complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and John is always willing to answer questions from viewers. John is a self-taught machinist and has an infectious positive can-do attitude about learning how to use CAD and CAM software and how to always improve our CNC Machining skills as well as striving to be a better manufacturing entrepreneur. The channel focuses on all things CNC, including Fusion 360 CAD & CAM Tutorials and CNC Machining parts and has a huge range of tutorials and videos that cover everything from the basics of CNC machining to more advanced techniques and projects.
