  12. Hi everyone – I was asked about programming a xxxxor 8040 Lathe. I don’t have much experience running or programming a lathe. All of my 15 years of experience has been on cnc mills …..Programming And running. They just want to see if it would be more worth while using Mastercam Than the conversational. The big thing is Mastercam uses a model instead Of someone drawing the part. Any help on getting started would be greatly Appreciated.
