This is a great introduction to getting started with manufacturing with FreeCAD! Thank you for providing those videos to everyone. The Path workbench will play an increasingly important role in workflows done with FreeCAD and enable small manufacturers to keep their processes within FreeCAD.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. It had the perfect amount of real world detail without becoming boring through repetition. I particularly appreciate you describing what you were doing as you were doing it. Too many FreeCAD tutorials are nothing but quick clicking through menus that is fairly meaningless, and completely useless when the next version of FreeCAD moves the menu items so the mouse clicks are in different places.
Excellent ! Clearly spoken and slow enough to follow easily. Would be nice to be able to remove previous tool paths as the design progresses through each step for better clarity. This is 0.18 and the current version is 0.21.2 so differs.
It depends on what type of work holding you are using. Vacuum, vise or clamp . This can be machined perfectly with vacuum work holding. If you are using a vise to hold your work, then you have to adjust your toolpath to include the Z height of the vise.

@@techwithjulius thanks for that. So your demo is for vaccum table only then. Because profiling the outside this way will mill in the jaw of the vice. Unless the stock is made bigger at the bottom to allow jaws to hold it.

You're very welcome!
Thanks for the very clear FreeCAD Path tutorial!
Thank you Julius for this video!

It helps for selecting faces and edges to make finished operations invisible ;o)
Thanks a great deal for this fantastic tutorial. More grease to your elbow.
Glad it was helpful!
Adaptive clearing, start depth 16mm, step down 5mm. How can I prohibit the endmill to go up, when it changes the steps?
Great video thanks for posting. Is there any way to add tabs to the cut pieces?
where and how do you clamp the stock? Looks like the first two operations would run into any clamping or jaws.

Is it possible to make a 3d surface milling cnc program in Freecad?
Can you make a video about 3d milling toolpath?
