Milling Cabinet Door Hinge Holes on the CNC | FreeCAD Parametric CAM Workflow

Описание: Learn how to CNC mill hinge holes for cabinet doors using a FreeCAD parametric design workflow. In this step-by-step tutorial, I go from 3D modeling to parametric variables, CAM setup, G-Code generation, and live CNC machining. With parametric design, hinge hole toolpaths update automatically when you change dimensions — saving huge amounts of time on cabinetmaking projects.

In this video, you’ll learn:
Why parametric design is essential for hinge holes in cabinet doors
Setting up the CNC table for fast board changes
Creating a simple cabinet door model in FreeCAD
Using VarSet (Variable Set) to control parameters for door and hinge design
Making hinge hole sketches parametric (diameters, offsets, positioning)
Defining hinge pockets & mirroring with datum planes
Setting up a FreeCAD CAM job for hinge hole milling
Creating a helix toolpath for accurate hinge hole machining
Exporting and running G-Code for CNC cabinet door projects
Final results and benefits of parametric toolpaths in FreeCAD
