Finding the correct machining operation and tool for my project

litodrums — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 21:39:55 GMT

Hello and thanks for your help

I am attempting to select the correct machining operation and the correct tool for this simple project I have.

The material is wood, thickness is 0.125".

I am enclosing my file for review so thank you for taking a look.

Some time back Fusion 360 updated their tool selection layout and since then I have had a difficult time just selecting a tool. Am I the only one with this amount of difficulty????

thank you for any input

With such a fine detail design, this project cannot be cut using a milling operation. The first screen capture is with a 0.03125 diameter cutter and it is incomplete plus it would surely break. The second screen capture is with a laser which is the option to choose. I have attached this model.

No, just the opposite, I find the new tool selection much more friendly. If you select the operation on the far right hand side first, then the different cutters appear below in a list.
