And the taper for the inserts on the spindle can be a CT or a BT 40.

We also have a max spindle speed of 12,000 RPM. For the Haas VM-3, you can see that we have a travel range of 40 inches in the X, 26 in the Y, and 25 in the Z.

So let's take a quick look at some of the specs for the Haas VM-3, and then we'll dive into machine configurations.

The reason that we're talking about the spreadsheet as well as machine configurations is because the functionality in Fusion 360 helps put a couple extra steps in place to validate whether or not you're violating any parameters of your machine. Inside the spreadsheet, there is a link to the Haas website for their VM-3 specs, and most of these specs have been included in the spreadsheet. In Fusion 360, we're going to carry on with our CAM milling dataset, but we also want to make sure that we have access to our Haas VM-3 specifications spreadsheet. In this video, we'll modify a machine configuration. Looking for Autodesk Fusion 360 certification prep courses?

Sharing your Autodesk Credential can signal to hiring managers that you’ve got the right skills for the job and you’re up on the latest industry trends like generative design. Want to take your learning to the next level? Complete the Autodesk CAD/CAM for Manufacturing Specialization, and you’ll unlock an additional Autodesk Credential as further recognition of your success! The Autodesk Credential comes with a digital badge and certificate, which you can add to your resume and share on social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This is the same basic process that gets repeated for the design and manufacture of any part and is a critical step in learning and understanding the process. Finally, we explore the basics of setting up a CAM program and defining toolpaths to cut simple geometry. Before we program any toolpaths, we’ll explore CNC machining basics to ensure we have the ground level foundational knowledge needed to effectively define toolpaths. In this course we begin with the basics in Autodesk® Fusion 360™ CAD by learning how to properly sketch and model 3D parts. This course introduces you to the foundational knowledge in computer-aided design, manufacture, and the practical use of CNC machines.
