In the CAM environment of Fusion, I cannot understand why the Profile>Mode & Direction>Direction will not allow me to turn a profile from outside to inside. Both the other options work.
Plunging into the center can damage the tool due to the back side (non-cutting side) of the tool rubbing against the stock past the center line of rotation. This means to use this, I will always have to bore out the center material first with a tool that is large enough for the “turning general” tool to do its job. This won’t work for all situations and will end up causing me a headache down the line.
