Beginner Needing Very Basics, Please

[YARGNAIRB]

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

This is my first post, so I apologize for my ignorance in advance. I am new to Mastercam, and my boss is expecting me to start being able to machine (Mill) SOMETHING with our newly purchased X4 very soon. I'm trying to machine out a small coupling half today(something simple just getting my feet wet). I have it drawn correctly (I believe)in 3D solid form on my X4. Can someone give me some VERY basic step by step instructions, on how I go about taking my drawing and actually get it to our HAAS to machine? I've had a beginners class for X4 and everything seemed fine in class, but now class is over and I'm struggling with using in the real world. How do I set parameters for our particular Mill? We are using a 2007 Model Haas TM3 with HAAS version M15.03D programming. How do I begin with Binding Boxes, Tool Paths, etc. to the point of actually loading what I have on my Flash Drive and plugging into the HAAS? I can't figure out how to attach my drawing to this post to give you a better idea of exactly what I am needing to machine today. So Again... Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED! And just might save my rear end. Thank You in advance, Brian

Welcome to the forum.

 

If you post your file (drawing) on the FTP you will get more help. A screen shot of you drawing will also help others trying to help you.

 

Also post in the industrial forum as there is a lot more traffic over there.

 

Don't be afraid to ask questions here.

 

Let me know if you need more help.
