How to access tooling manufactures in MX5

[Darin]

I have read that there is a way to have tooling manufactures tooling integrated in MX5....Iscar and others offer this..How to I get to these features? Or does the manufacture have to install something? Do they have models for all lathe and mill holders? Also models and speed & feeds for there turning and roughing cutters?

Some tool manufacturers have made tool libraries with default values for Mastercam. If you want to use one of these tools just right click in the tool box window or click the big 'Select library tool...' button. At the top of that screen is a little folder icon, click that and select a library from the list. You should see a bunch of them. Keep in mind that some of the libraries that manufacturers made are specifically for lathe or mill, not both.

Iscar has some libary tools for HEM tool paths in MCX5. You can import a drawing or make it your self. Do a search on it. Just about every thing

has been covered and it will be better than I could explain it to you.
