I've created a project in Fusion 360 that involves milling both sides of a piece of wood. Up until now, I've only milled the top side of projects.
In fusion 360 it seemed that I could easily design a tool path for the underside by changing the tool orientation z-axis to be able to approach it. The problem arises with the stepcraft post-processor not liking the produced data.
I imagine this is a common requirement, so there must be a simple way to work around this.
Is anyone able to help with this, or point to where it's already been discussed?
I'm fairly new to Fusion 360, but have had success with simple projects and self-learning so far.
Thanks!
Ben
