Does anyone have a programming manual for this machine? I have a buddy at another shop who trying to program for the tailstock/Quill. Anyone have some G code for the tailstock? Thanks

Lathe machining with ceramic inserts for Inco 625
Eric E replied to Eric E's topic in Industrial Forum
Thanks Guys, If you can help out with the TEST-4.mcam (2021) file this would be greatly appreciated. It may not be the same tool you use but can help with the overall process I'm trying to develop on Inco with ceramic inserts. BBprecise Greenleaf used to have a great section in their old catalogs showing how to prep edges for ceramics and best practices, don't know if they still do or not. If not let me know ad I'll send to 20+ pages I have. Please send me info you can Thanks for your help Eric TEST-4.mcam -
Lathe machining with ceramic inserts for Inco 625
Eric E replied to Eric E's topic in Industrial Forum
Is it possible to show me on the TEST.mcam file? I having some issues achieving this in sections and lasting. Thanks -
Hello, I asking for some help to better use ceramic inserts on a Lathe. If you have experience on how to keep your inserts from chipping and lasting longer, please help me develop a better process. It was recommend to me to chamfer or radius into and out of the cut. I have included a TEST.mcam file. I'm and roughing the ID in sections for chips and to check or change insert if needed. My inserts are not lasting more than one section and is chipping. Thanks TEST.mcam

crazy^millman Thanks for the input, I am in no way going to adjust or right code to the post. What I'm looking for is G code of some customized drilling cycles that others have added their post.

crazy^millman I work in Long Beach at the Virgin Orbit factory. That's is a good idea to reach out to our sister company. Are you referring to David G. from Cad/Cam Consulting? I'm not using the MT version and am not looking to add this myself, that's a job for In-House solutions. Just looking to see want I could add to our post. Thanks

Mark, Can you send me a file to test?

Procedure to change/rotate WCS on a lathe for 2nd op
Eric E replied to Eric E's topic in Industrial Forum
1st op is bar stock / cutoff . -
Is there a better way to do this? Here is the way I'm currently doing this. 1. Lathe Stock Preview ( create stock from 1st op ) 2. Create a new Level / Copy Solid/Geometery to new Level 3. Rotate/flip Stock & Geometery 4. Position new Stock & Geometery 5. Create a New Machine Group Lathe 6. Create Toolpaths

Has any found a way to import the vendors STP solid models files directly into the Mastercam Tool Catalog, without having to draw the tool? I have been drawing the tools for years, but would like a faster way. Also would like a way to include the holder name & insert.. Anytime you create a custom tool, you cannot include holder & insert info the same way you can with the existing catalog data. Thanks

I'm trying to have a chip break/pull out and have high pressure remove chips, but Mastercam only allows 0.1 to 1000000.0 in Conditions in Tool Inspections. Is there away to shorten this? Toolpath: Lathe Rough Material: Copper Tool: Boring Bar Mastercam: X9
