@truher

anybody else doing this sort of thing with the Shapeoko 3 (or 4 or pro)?

Here’s a good thread.

Lets share some tool paths - 3d aluminium machining

Hi guys, I feel it’s been a while since I posted anything useful so I wanted to expand on @Vince.Fab topics around machining aluminium along with peoples use of fusion 360 and adaptive tool paths. I appreciate many will be inspired by the shiny aluminium parts that have been floating around here as late, with many curious of how best to use fusion 360 for 2 sided and more complex milling operations… With that in mind I have pulled out one of my old files that needs a number of different milling…

If you search for aluminum on the forum, you’ll find there are plenty of examples.
What CAM program are you using? Lots on adaptive toolpaths as well.
