Mike,
We are the same place with F360, I have gotten good to very good with modeling but can't use the CAM at all.
The good news is this is not a job for F360. It is a job for Vcarve Pro. I wish I was there, then it would be a peice of cake to walk you through it.
Let me try here:
open Vcarve and select new, from there you will be ask to set some job parameters. Set them as x=6", Y=8" and material thickness as the actual thickness of the plywood. Select top for Z zero and center for x and Y zero. click okay.
Now just draw a two rectangles, one the size of the lip and one the size of the main cut.
Now switch over to the other side of the program and we will program the cuts from there.
Select pocket and select both rectangles. Set the depth such that you will have the lip you need. click calculate.
close the preview and now select profile, set the depth just deep enough to cut through plus a few thousandths. make sure "outside" is selected for "machine vectors",, now click calculate. if everything looks good in the preview save your toolpath and cut.
Vcarve takes so playing with but is super fast for things like this once you get it.
