Learn FreeCAD: #14 Helical Toolpath and 3D pocket - Tutorial

This is a video tutorial about how to generate helical and 3D pocket toolpaths in FreeCAD. A helical path follows a screw-like pattern and a 3 dimensional path uses many 2D layers to form a pocket with an uneven bottom surface.
I am using FreeCAD version 0.17.

Thanks for a great set of tutorials. What I love about them is that you always learn something new. Sometimes a single remark or sentence suddenly makes everything clear and fall into place.

interesting thumbs up tool-path video... i do not like to give a thumb-down because i do not make videos, so good luck to the ones that do... thanks a lot...:)

Great Video, thanks. But could you still make a little tutorial for make a toolpath in a rectangle pocket with roundet corners?
I try a few day but i didn`t find the correct definition for the toolpath.

Good day. How to use thread mill in path workbench?

I've been trying to do the same thing you did in this vid but I can't get it to work no matter what I try. Only thing different is I'm using 0.18 FC

don't know how about you guys but I'd rather use the spiral motion for most of the round millings
