Kenneth Potter replied to Thad's topic in Industrial Forum
Mastercam cannot do simple facing Dynamic mouse machining. Create a mill Diameter( circle) & drag & click....There are times when the facing toolpath parameters pages verge on over kill just to do simple facing ... Sometime I would like to vary the crossover stepover amount so i can get a better finnish & shorten the cycle time! -
