What is your conclusion regarding adaptive tool paths v contour? I have only used the later. I can see the logic in wearing out the cutter along the flutes rather than the bottom. I would have to re learn what width of cut to go for specially on steel.
All interesting stuff . I guess you guys use G wizard to check step over, step down and feed and speeds before cutting the part.I know nothing of Fusion360. I use Visualmill for my CAM
how are you getting on with the "free" version of Fusion 360? as in tool changes, speeds and feeds.plus, as the free one only lets you have 10 drawings in the bit the left (sorry forgot the name of it) how does it work when your doing assembles with more than ten parts.
Stepover and stepdown again F360 fills it in but I find it is usually more than my machine can manage so reduce to what I have found works which taking that 6mm cutter in steel would be 1D or 6mm Ae (vertical stepdown) and 0.1D Ap (sideways stepover)
