Angled Holders on Turret Lathes

[JordanM]

Good morning,

I have run into an issue programming a Doosan TT1800SY lathe.  I am using Mastercam 2022 mill turn, and cannot figure out a way to program an angled holder.  So far my search has brought me to aggregate heads, but they seem to be specific to mill and router applications.  Does anyone have any experience with angled heads?  

For context, I have done plenty of angled and 5 axis cutting in B head style mill turns, specifically the Doosan SMX2600ST, but without the option of plane rotation, I am somewhat at a loss. 

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Respectfully,

Jordan

You will need to reach out to your re-seller for support for the mill-turn product for adding components and possibly modifying your post.

Thank you, this seems to be the rule with mill turn especially. There seems to be very little flexibility on the consumer end to make meaningful alterations.

I believe that there are some aspects of the product that will be unlocked for the end user possibly for the 2025 release.

Angled head support for turrets in Mill-Turn was added in Mastercam 2024.  You can read more about this support here: Using Turret-Mounted Angled Milling Heads

Oh that's excellent! I must have missed it in the rollout. Thank you for your response.
