Machining Fundamentals: Tool Length Offset

Fusion 360 Blog: We created the Machining Fundamentals series to help you brush up on your CAM knowledge, whether you work in a machine shop or are just getting started. In-house machinists at our Birmingham Technology Center host each episode and provide a detailed overview of a tool/process. In the last edition, we covered feeds and speeds. Here we introduce tool length offset—what it is, why they’re important, where to find them on your machine, and how to set them. We’ll also show what can happen when you input the incorrect value.
