No experience with engrave toolpaths, please help


Recommended Posts

I have been working with Mastercam for a few months now, but for the first time now, I need to do an engraving toolpath. I have next to no idea what things I need to select and I can't quite get it to generate even. The Mastercam Help isnt very instructive on how to set these up either. If you have any advice or tutorials, please send them my way. If you have any questions or want to see the file, let me know and I can post it. Thanks.

I usually just sue a center drill as they are very strong.

Make sure what geometry you are using for your engraving is readable by Mastercam.

Use Contour path. Comp and lead in / out off.

Nice slow plunge if you are I steel.
