Trouble creating 2d Pocket in Fusion 360

Anonymous

I am trying to generate a CAM file that will create a shallow groove (0.08") before contouring the outside of the model to cut it out.  I have been trying to use the 2D pocket tool to clear the groove, however, I don't seem to be able to create the settings in the 2d pocket function properly in order to generate a toolpath.  I am posting the .f3d file here.

 

Once I have selected my settings for creating a 2d pocket and click ok, I get the error in the 2D Pocket tab "Warning, no passes to link."  "Warning, no toolpath generated."  My cutter is narrower than the pocket to be created, so I'm not sure what the problem is.  I'm not seeing any useful warnings as I go.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

 

Scott

Your groove is 0.093. The tool diameter is 0.0625 and your stock to leave (on passes tab) is 0.02 - and that will be for each side of the groove.

 

Reduce radial stock to leave to, say, 0.01 and it should generate a path.
