If you're thinking about getting into a Tormach or have recently gotten one and the learning curve feels steep, then this is the video for you. I recently did that learning curve and am happy to share it all with you to speed you up. This video will take you from complete noob up to the point you can make simple parts in a dimensionally accurate manner. Therefore, it includes CAD, CAM, setup, workholding, all sorts of knowledge you need to get started. It is not just a video about a Tormach.
A lot of this will work for other CNC mills as well. Only a few sections are truly Tormach specific.

There is a ton of information here so I have split it up into distinct chapters.
3:36- Intro to Fusion360 CAD
20:30- Intro to Fusion360 CAM
50:05- Getting CAM to the Mill
53:17- Feeds & Speeds
1:08:02- Machine Start Up
1:09:10- Tramming Your Vise
1:15:14- Workpiece Holding
1:16:45- Tool Changes
1:19:31- Zeroing XYZ to Workpiece
1:23:13- Tool Offsets
1:27:25- Running CAM Programs
1:32:27- Two-Sided Milling Setup
1:38:20- Shutdown Procedure
1:39:02- Intro to Flood Coolant

If you wish to delve deeper into the world of Fusion360, I highly recommend this playlist    • Learn Autodesk Fusion 360 in 30 Days ...  

If you want to get better at CAM and Tormach beyond the content of this video, Titans of CNC has their free Academy program which is also amazing!
