Mastercam 2017 lathe chip break video

[Roger]

Loving this new chip break in 2017 MC!  Material is Lexan (Polycarbonate).  This stuff just wanted to wrap around the part and the chuck before I tried this new feature.

Anyone else using it?  What material, etc. (do tell)...............CHIP BREAK VIDEO.mp4

I had been asking for that one for a while. Haven't needed it since they added it but I am very much looking forward to giving it a shot.

I use it at least weekly.

I have saved projects where I used to draw hundreds of little lines and chain them one at a time to get this effect. 

I didn't know it was new in 2017, I thought I just had been overlooking it and felt kinda dumb (er). 

This path is running on our little mori lathe as I type

I used it the moment 2017 came out. We do a lot of cast Nylon. Chips are crazy. This helped a lot. I no longer have to stop the machine and pull the string chips out from around the chuck.
