What boring bar/inset would you guys use to cut this internal profile? I ground a HSS bit to make a couple of these, but now need to make more and using HSS in 4140 prehard isn't very appealing. Dimensions in inches if it isn't obvious.

Dumb question- anyone know how to set the probe tip diameter on a Brother C-00 control? It's got to be buried in a macro variable somewhere, but not sure where exactly. I'd ask Yamazen directly, but I bought this machine used; the one bought new doesn't have a probe, and I've already bugged...

BLUF: Question #1- Is the Manufacturing Extension worth $1,200/yr? Question #2- Have any of you "graduated" from Fusion to a "real" CAD/CAM and been amazed by all the great things they've been missing out on? Background: I've been using Fusion 360 for about five years, and don't...

Anyone use these carbide burrs on stainless? Harvey Tool Tool # 892208-C3 https://www.harveytool.com/products/tool-details-892208-c3 Or can recommend something similar? I need to break the edge on 304 after milling an angled shoulder into a tube, it's not a complex shape but it is 3D so I...

I'm new to 4th axis programming, and not sure about workflow. I have a two sided trunnion with Orange Delta IV vises on each side. How are you modeling fixturing, to get the offsets right? Bringing in a body of the trunnion into each part file and placing the stock in the jaws to get an accurate...
