Milling Operation on TOP and Bottom Face

[Ajit]

Hi Friends

I have to add two operation on Rectangular Block on top and bottom face eg drill or any Circular Milling operation.

And then Verify it at a time both operation.

 

How to add operation on bottom face?

 

 

Thanks in advance

The ops on the bottom use T/plane 4 (bottom)

Change your Tplane and Cplane to bottom (4)

In the Mastercam Secondary Menu, the tool plane (Tplane) is the plane in which the tool approaches and machines your part. The tool plane represents the CNC machine’s coordinate system (XY axis and origin). Choosing Tplane from Mastercam’s Secondary Menu displays the Tool Plane menu.

Setting a Tplane parallel to the current construction plane allows you to redefine any 2D plane as the machine’s XY plane. This Tplane setting is recommended for programming tombstone and rotary axis toolpaths.

 

Note: Post processors that support the Tplane automatically output indexing codes when the Tplane changes between operations. Use TPlane, Rotate to define multiple parallel Tplanes for rotary axis applications.

Tplane for toolpaths

Mastercam transforms the toolpath’s world coordinates into the current Tplane when defining a tool plane. It ignores the Cplane and construction origin settings.

All planes are defined relative to the Work Coordinate System (WCS). If you reorient the WCS, all predefined planes are also reoriented.

The only problem with bottom plane and your post is to make sure the x axis is pointing in the right direction. I have always had to create my own c-plane for the bottom usign the x postive to the left as my keeping everything straight.

I am agree with Ron, but I use WCS. Such a handy feature.
