Turning Profile (Finishing)

After we have implemented the first roughing operation, it is a good idea to set a final finishing pass to remove only a tiny bit of material and achieve a good surface quality.

Fusion 360 comes with a handy operation called Turning Profile Finishing, which we can find among all the other turning operations in Figure 5.2:

This is a contouring operation that will generate a toolpath parallel to the part profile. Before launching the command, we should know which type of tool we plan to use and which cutting settings will allow us to have the target surface quality we want.

For this operation, we can still use the same tool and shank used in the previous operation. The insert (CNMG160616) can be used both for roughing and for finishing, in fact. Once again, we will let CoroPlus calculate the optimal cutting parameters for the insert and simply copy and paste them. Let’s now launch the command!
