I don't use fusion. If you could post a screen shot I will try to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That use to be the case however tormach recently changed there control software from Mach mill to path pilot. Requiring new post processors that are compatible with path pilot. Path pilot is very similar to Linux / emc. So they should get you started. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can't use a tormach specific post processor as they where made for Mach you are now using path pilot. I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is still slow computing large files with bobcad. I think it is a fault with bobcad as other cam programs I have demoed worked much smoother. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fusion should also do it. I would guess you would need to draw a solid cube then tip it on a 45° or whatever angle you would like to use. Use a cylinder subtract feature and manipulate the cylinders in depth and position.

When I plotted the points I just drew a square. Then plotted the points. Setting the 45°. In the machine setup zero.

This is BobCAD. I did it in 2d. But it is prolly easier in 3d. I set the stock so it is at a 45° angle to the machine. Then I pick the 2 point farthest to the let in the x axis. Set them to drill .050 moved over .125 to the center point set it to drill .100 then moved over to the next set of point drilling the at .2 and increasing .100 every time I step in the x direction witch is the direction the 45 is in. Sorry if I'm not very good at explaining this.

I've never used fusion so I'm no help there. Does it do 2d or does it have to be all solid models? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make all your points for one side by manipulating the offset. Do you have a 4th axis? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could put it in a vice at the desired angle. Setup drill points with your cam using an endmill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drill mills work great for engraving.

I'll take your snow. About 65° here in WY today. Started doing some landscaping and there's not even any frost in the ground.

Glad I could contribute to the great information in this thread.
