I created 3 sweep surfaces based off the wireframe geometry that is on level 400 in my file. I find when using a flowline toolpath it is always better to have a single surface vs 2 or more patched surfaces.2 points

OK, I think I got it, the op # tag seems to have fixed it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!1 point

Thanks to all who have replied. If the part doesn't give it away, yes, I'm a moldmaker. It's a core pin that functions as a runner shutoff. Yes, I've used the Swept 2D path quite a bit since we got the Haas in the toolroom for roughing the lock angle on locks and slides with a 2" facemill. I'll keep practicing and wait for the parts to come in and then try to grab the 3D license and make chips.1 point

Many ways but with a 2D seat comes the venerable 2D Swept toolpath A Runner Cutter would be my 1st choice but the 2D swept might have a place here as well JP_shutoff pin 2021 test.mcam1 point

Lathe stock flip in MT is not directly supported, unfortunately. The easiest way of going about this is to save the stock after the first side work is done, saving the resultant stock geometry to a level, and using that and a copy of the part geometry to drive a 2nd machine group that does the flipped side.1 point

Does your machine have a sub spindle? The machine I loaded had a sub spindle and that option was not available. In that case I would create two separate .MCAM files. Or you could try loading a second machine group into a single Mastercam file. That might get messy with the way things are handled with Mill-Turn though.1 point

Optirough or surface pocket and then finish with a flowline. OR just cut a groove down the middle with a ball mill and then flowline1 point

The single biggest thing I found when programming remotely is this... Remember that you are not in the office, a few feet away from having someone come in and asking a question when something isn't quite clear. Document and note things clearly, try to see where any question might arise and be clear in your instruction sets.... You might only be a phone call or email away but you no longer have "eyes on" anticipate problems try to work to avoid them ahead of time.1 point

proper programming techniques will prevent most of these errors for example helix mill/wear comp/start at center/lead in set to 180° will produce an error every time switch lead in to 90° and you are good to go1 point

Using the 3D seat, I would use High speed area clearance to rough it out with a small ball end mill, then follow it up with waterline cutting from slope angle 30 degrees to 90 degrees, and then use raster cutting from slope angle 0 degrees to 35 degrees. Carmen0 points

Collin, it’s a Robodrill, 5 axis , with a Fanuc control. Temp is about 72deg. im using a .047 flat end mill. With shrink fit holding from pioneer. code is 5axis, G68.2 I’m not filtering, and the total tolerance is +\_.001”. overall size of the part is about 2x3x.5” and we bought the machine from Methods coincidentaly.0 points
