Learn how to create precise grooves on cylindrical objects in FreeCAD with this step-by-step tutorial! Perfect for both beginners and intermediate users, this guide covers two professional methods to design grooves efficiently:
Sketch-and-Pocket Workflow (with datum planes & fillets)
Revolved Groove Tool (using external geometry & constraints)
📌 In This Video, You’ll Learn:
✅ Creating parametric sketches for groove geometry
✅ Using datum planes for precise feature placement
✅ Applying constraints (equality, perpendicularity)
✅ Revolve operations vs. pocket operations
✅ Adding fillets for smooth edges
✅ Pro tips for troubleshooting some modeling issues
