Mould & Die in U.K

[mark m]

Hello, I would just like to know if there are any other Mastercam users out there in the U.K who are producing Moulds/Dies/Tooling. I work for a small forging company in the West Midlands, right in the heart of the Black Country. We only have one CNC at the moment, a vertical machining center with Heidenhain 426 control. I've only been using Mastercam for 12 months and do all the 3-d modelling, toolpathing and machining.

How does quartz machine, do you have to use diamond impregnated tools, etc?
