Machining a Casting Pattern on the Tormach 1100. Second time’s a charm!

On WW 162, we made a Southbend Lathe Casting Pattern but this time, we made major improvements.  We’ll discuss the toolpath that helps us achieve the crucial DRAFT ANGLE as well as how to use DUPLICATION PATTERN in Fusion 360.  Improved S&F + Super Glue Fixturing + CAM toolpaths = WIN!
