The Top Height value defines the upper level of milling. The tool from Clearance Height or Retract Height will move quickly to the Feed Height and will start working with the G1 feed from this point. The next value is Feed Height. This value defines the level at which the tool will move from the rapid movement (G0) to the feed movement (G1). For example, if the contour is made in several passes, after the first pass, the tool will retract to the height from the Retract Height field and at this height it will move to the place where it will start the next pass. This is the level at which the tool will move between passes in a single operation. In the Offset field, we specify the value of Clearance Height depending on what we choose in the From field.Īnother value is Retract Height. The tool will also retract to this height after the operation and at this height, it will be moved to the next operation. The first value in the Z axis in the machining program will be the value of the Clearance Height. This is the level to which the tool will reach at the start of machining and the machining program starts from this level. And height for rapid movement (G0) and height for G1 feed. In this tab, set the heights on which the tool is to move between passes or between operations. We will omit the Tool Orientation section for now. However, we also have the option of independently determining the geometry to be machined by marking it on the model. The selected geometry will determine the machining limits. A contour of the stock was marked on the workpiece model, so in this section we can do nothing. The changed values will be applied only in this case and it will not affect the global values defined in the tool table. However, if we want to change it for some reason, only for this one particular operation, we can do it in this place.

We defined these values during the tool definition. Select the appropriate cooling for the machine on which the particular part will be machined. We have one tool here, choose it (either by double clicking or by selecting and clicking OK).Ī transparent tool model will appear in the Fusion 360 window.Īnother option is Coolant. Select the created tool library (the others can be deselected). To select the facing tool for the Tool option, click the Select button and the following window appears. In the first Tool tab, select the tool and specify the machining parameters. To select a face milling operation in Fusion 360, select the option Face from the 2D menu.Ī window will appear in the right part of the main window: This is 2.5D milling. It is simultaneous work in two axes (XY), and motion in the third axis (Z) takes place when the tool does not work in XY axes.

Face milling is a 2-axis milling operation. It iis removing material from flat surfaces. Face milling is one of the basic milling operations.
