Hello,

I am a newbie in CAM, CNC world. I need some advice how to generate a G-code for lathe profile with Fusion 360? Only for profile, no safe starting condition, tool changes, feeds and speeds.
 
How new?

First, once you’ve modeled your part, change from the model environment, to the CAM/manufacturing environment. Click setup > new setup.
Change “milling” to “mill/turn” in the box that pops up. Set your WCS, stock size, DOC, SFM, safe distance, and a plethora of other things.

If I need to make a video I can probably get to it this evening or the next couple evenings between making chips and ensuring my foster kids don’t cause more harm than a minor landslide.
