Terrance (@Simsworx ) gave you lots of information but it is all very good information.
You are entering the area that gave me the most fits (Manufacturing) so don’t give up. We all went thru it: and survived. Just set up one or two tools and then when you have an actual sketch you want to take thru the CAM process (manufacturing) it will make more sense. We will all watch out for you and help you thru it.
You only need to enter things in these three tabs (General, Cutter, Cutting data):
Cutter:
Cutting data. Many of us have been filling in all this detail but little of it flows to the post processor*:
*There is currently a team of people looking into this and hopefully will have a post processor that uses the most important elements of this “Cutting data.” As of Dec. 2023, much of this data needs to be manually entered in the final stage of post processing in Fusion 360 even if you entered in the “tool.”
@Simsworx is part of that team. I only sit in on the meetings to see if anyone brought any snacks.
