TURNING. New roughing strategy. No lead-in anymore just slam in full speed?

[Anonymous]

Seems this new turning update was rushed out for some reason...

What is the reasoning behind no more lead in/out?

Seems ridiculous to slam carbide into stainless steel at 0.015"ipr?

I commented on everything else in other posts, just wanna point out that lead in and lead out are still there,  well  .... sort of.

New turning strategy combines canned cycles and long hand roughing so some consideration had to be given to how canned cycles work.

In G72 you would give it X clearance and zero value in Z register so that tool starts above or below stock diameter and in line with stock in Z axis.

That point becomes start and end point for cycle.

In G71, you would use Z clearance and 0 value in X register so that tool starts in front of the stock and in line with stock diameter.

So technically, your lead in and lead out is still there but you can only use O or 90 degree lead in and out which is relative to direction of tool approach and you cannot change it.

Interesting... 

Well if we go off your other post, it sounds like Fusion is trying to sell me some 8-tracks.

BUT, in all fairness Fusion opened a world of possibilities to mass of people who cannot afford Solidworks, Mastercam and other established high end software.

I would have some difficulties if I had to fall back on Mastercam alone because I used it primarily for turning over the years and my access to it was sporadic, now I have both but I still use Mastercam for turning only and Fusion for  mostly for milling.

Since introduction of canned cycles I started using Fusion in turning more often, usually because I need to see combined result of turning and milling in one setup and some jobs are posted as combined deal while on others I prefer reliability of Mastercam.
