Thanks JParis that looks good - The only problem
is when I verify it clips the part on the back .
i have the unroll checked .... so I'm thinking it
should be ok .The tools moves up after the tool
path and the A axis turns back and tool moves down .
Hopefully it should be OK . Thanks for the help .
Thanks for the help hardmill . The tool doesn't
look like it's coming over far enough . And when
I converted the polylines to arcs and lines will the
surface be a little rough .Thanks again for any help .
Crappy model .
I loaded the modified file to ftp://mastercam-cadcam.com/Mastercam_forum/X5_files/

We had a DMG mill Lathe . It was good for aluminum .
But when using coolant drills on steel the
head would move ( the head is belt drive ) .
Also when switching from mill to lathe the
postion would change .
Thanks everyone for the help .I just ended up using
a sub program . The parts were in high demand - as usual .
Next time I will try the transform .
Thanks again .
Hi Everyone - I would really appreciate some help ith this part that needs to be done asap .

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.
