lathe help

[biss03]

I've got a part that requires work along a face and i can't figure out which path to use (facing,grooving,etc.) and i'm to the point where i really need to get cutting chips. can someone take a look at it for me and see if they can help me out? i rarely ever use lathe so i'm verrrryyy raw with it in Mastercam.

 

I'm using V8 right now but i have V10 loaded - just haven't had the time to learn V10 yet!

 

thanks

bisso3,

 

I'd be happy to look it over if you want to upload it onto cadcam's FTP or e-mail it to me directly. V8 still? Wow, I'll have to "dust off" my books and see if we have an old 8.1.1 disk lying around somewhere.

Peter,

 

Check your email. i just sent you the file (11:00am).

biss03,

 

"Mail call." BTW, I nearly deleted your tool image message because I didn't recognize the sending address. Fortunately I read your text message before doing anything rash. Also, I've always been curious about the quote in your signature. Does it mean anything or is it just jibberish? Oops. Just got your last message. I used a smaller radius insert on the finish tool. It shouldn't be a problem to change the radius though. Just do it in the tool definition on the insert page. HTH

thanks for the help Peter. I'll let you know how it turns out when we cut chips.
