Hi guys, new to the forums but need some major help or links to where I can find information.  I started a new job Monday as a CNC Lathe Programmer and they are pushing me to use the Live Tooling on our lathe.  Heres the only problem. I have very little experience programming the C-Axis in MasterCAM to program from solids.  Can anyone give me any help.  I need as much assistance as I can get!  I can figure certain things out by just messing around with the C-Axis programming controls.  But they want me to machine "off-center" flats along the Z-Axis.   I cant bring anything home from work with me to mess around, so im stuck trying to figure out how to program on the job.  Again guys please please help!  Email me directly if you want, robertsiajr@gmail.com
