Recommended for a great video
1. Explain the “why”
Feed, speed, tool path or material (e.g. 6061 aluminum), rather than silent cutting or generic music.
2. Show the workflow
- CAD/CAM and toolpath simulation
- Workholding and stock preparation
- G-code, calibration, chip and coolant management
These are recommendations, not requirements.
