Trouble with inner fillet toolpaths

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,
I'm trying to learn Fusion 360 so I can do more advanced carvings.  As a basic learning test, I created a simple project to test carve on a 2 x 4 board.  The goal with this is to practice two cut jobs (roughing + finishing).  The project is a simple "pocket" with 2 of the 4 inside corners having a fillet.  The problem I'm having is with the CAM part.  It looks like the roughing job (2D Adaptive Clearing) is going to cut through the fillets.  The toolpath doesn't step inwards as an offset.

The next problem is with trying to setup the second job, 2D Contour.  I cannot select the fillet nor can I seem to figure out how to get it to follow them in order to carve them.

Here's the link to the mode: http://a360.co/2bKEWLN

 

If anyone can help me figure this out, I'll be very grateful.  Thanks in advance.

Can you export the part as an f3d, the share links are a pain to use. From the file menu select Export and save as an f3d file.

 

A couple of points from just viewing your part, 2d ops are just that 2d they do not look at the 3d model at all, well chamfer dose but that's the exception. With the 2d pockets they will just machine to the boundary you've selected and to the depth you set that's all. For your part use 3d adaptive the calculation times for the 3d pocket ops are quite fast so for most parts you will not see a lot of difference.

Second point, your model has sharp corners to the pocket really you need to add some sort of fillet to the vertical corners.

Finally got a download from your link, try and attach the model in the future you'll get a lot more help if the file's attached.

 

To import the attached file usey New Design From File on the file menu.

 

In the 3d adaptive op take a look at the fine step down setting, the op uses this to go back and machine areas where the main stepdown  has left material.

PS next time use the CAM forum for CAM questions\problems.
