![]() ![]() When selecting edges from your Model for these toolpaths just hold down the "Alt" key and select a single edge, look at the settings in those toolpaths, the Trace toolpath you can select Left, Centre or Right for where you want the tool to cut.ģ) If using a smaller tool than the slot the there are several methods, these include "2D Adaptive", "2D Pocket" and "3D Adaptive" are just some options open to you. One advantage of the "2D Slot" toolpath is that there is a setting for what is known as "pull back", what this does is at the end of the slot instead of retracting straight up and dragging up the end of the slot often causing a bad finish and "chatter" the tool cuts to the end of the slot and then moves back the amount set before retracting, a nice feature IMHO.Ģ) Again using a tool that is the same size as the slot but the slot has open ends then the 2D Contour and 2D Trace are the next best options. This will only work if the Slot has one or both ends closed, does not work with a Slot that for example has both ends open, if you look at the example file and select the "2D Slot" operation you will see that only the slots with closed ends will toolpath OK using this method. ![]() ![]() 100% sure on what you are asking for as you have not uploaded any file or image to show what it is you are trying to do so I have put together a small Fusion file with a few different options of how to do Slots.įirst of all, there is some confusion around regarding just what a Slot is and how it is looked at within Fusion when trying to use the "2D Slot" toolpath, some folks seem to think that they need to do sketches to define the center line of a slot but it is not needed in most cases.ġ) Doing a Slot with a tool that is the same size as the Slot using the "2D Slot" toolpath. ![]()
