New Tool Profile in Turning Tool

[Stan Marsh]

Hi

 

Can some one help me to know how can i create a special insert style in Mastercam turning tools?

 

 

Thank you

You could start with an existing tool in Mcam and save it to a level,..

Then modify that geom, remember to use only lines and arcs, all geom must be on the same level, geom needs to be drawn in Mcam's top toolplane, inserts should be drawn in colors #94 (insert down) or #14 (insert up) and the holder is drawn in color #116

 

Do a search in the Mcam help guide for "Creating and using custom lathe tools" it will provide more specific info.

That is how I train people to do it.
