Those of you who don’t use Fusion 360 are no doubt wondering whether G-Wizard will be able to import your CAM software’s tool libraries too. Yup, at least that’s one of a number of reasons. You’ll either track far too few combinations because it is too hard to track them all, or far too many to the point where it is confusing and hard to manage.Īha! That’s why G-Wizard is a Good Thing! It’s going to be a gigantic unmanageable beast very quickly. Imagine trying to create an entry in a database for every combination of 60 variables. G-Wizard considers over 60 variables when it figures out Feeds and Speeds. What Cut Depth and Width is that for? And again, I will need a new entry for every combination? That’s going to encourage me to only use a few combinations, which will be very inefficient.What Material is that for? So I have to have a new tool record for every single Material?.You will get very sub-optimal results trying to store the ideal RPM and Feedrate for a particular tool. In general, CAM Software is just not set up well for Feeds and Speeds.Ī big part of the problem is that Feeds and Speeds is not a database problem. The problem getting this data out of F360 Tool Libraries is not really unique to Fusion. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t have much of a business with G-Wizard I suppose. I’ve said it often, but CAM Software generally does a very poor job with Feeds and Speeds. In fact, some of the manufacturers were setting those fields to essentially nonsense values to make sure nobody used the Libraries for that purpose. Alas, I discovered no useful feeds and speeds data there. A lot of manufacturers are now offering Tool Libraries with their full catalog in that format. I really wanted to be able to pull in manufacturer’s feeds and speeds recommendations from F360 files. ![]() I want to mention one area I did not choose to move forward on. Manufacturer’s Feeds and Speeds Information I have also updated the G-Wizard Tool Crib Documentation page to bring it current with all features. I tested it against a couple thousand tools in the libraries you provided me, and G-Wizard was able to bring in 98% of the tools without errors. G-Wizard will log an error for anything it doesn’t understand in your F360 Tool Library. It tells you how many tools were imported and how many errors were found during import. ![]() When it’s finished, you’ll see a message like this one:.A file browser lets you select which F360.You’ll get a popup asking what file format.It’s been tested against thousands of tools and I do not having any open bug reports from the field. I just uploaded G-Wizard v4.996, which has the final incarnation of our F360 Tool Library import function. I’m excited to report that Fusion 360 Tool Library Import for G-Wizard Calculator is finished and out of Beta Test! Two great CNC tools, now working together. ![]()
