Multiple Part Work Tutorials

Working with two parts in the machine is a little different from setting up just one. These videos show how to use multiple work coordinate systems to machine two parts at once, as well as how to use CAM patterns for two or more of the same part!

G54 & G55: Using Multiple Work Coordinate Systems in Fusion 360

Using G54 & G55 Offsets, we can machine two parts at once! One important thing to remember is it’s usually easier to change your Operation Order to Order By Tool to minimize tool changes.

G54 G55: Multiple Work Coordinate Systems with Fusion 360

Using G54 & G55 Offsets in addition to CAM templates, let’s make a fixture to machine two Stephenson Linkages for a model train at one time!

Combine Two Parts into ONE file in Fusion 360

What is the best way to CAM two parts together when they are in different files? By creating a new file, we can insert the CAD models into one file and machine them together!

Tormach Dual-Station Orange Vise Production Run!

Using G54 and G55 work offsets in Fusion 360 on a dual station Orange Vise.  Each vise holds 4 parts and we’re using CAM patterns for each part. Let’s machine some keychains!

Fusion 360: Component Pattern Example

Machining Key Fob molds from P20 Tool Steel with a High Feed Mill – the secret? Using CAM Patterns to machine all 7 inlets in the mold.

Fusion 360: Programming Production Run CAM!

A Patreon supporter asked us how to go about machining this part – Let’s model the stock, pattern the part, and CAM four at once.
