A little. 5axis, or even a horizontal using B axis can cause some interesting things to happen. You start dealing with long holders hitting. A rapid move that should have been a straight line but it's a dogleg. Also the 5 axis parts that I make cost 6 figures and the forgings take months to get. You want all of your kinematics verified before making a chip. Some of our parts I program and verify and I have another programmer look at what I have done to see if I missed anything. G code verification is the way to go. Test what you use.

Machining Urethane?
andate caga replied to augshastry's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Have done this before. It was a milled part. I needed 3 it was 100% r&d. I froze the stock 2in round. Put in 4th axis and went as fast as I could with HSS tooling. Low rpm high feed. Don't make heat. No coolant, it draws away the cold. The CTE is crazy also. I had to hold +\- .01. Took 10 bad ones not get my first good one but after that I had it nailed. Good thing is that it's cheap material. -
Wow your tool list is almost where I am trying to get! I have a good 2 axis lathe one figured out. My 3 axis mill is bad lol!

You have to ask your dealer for it. I have it, it helps somewhat it Its still confusing.

I want to change the tip angles on most of the standard drills to 135 from 118. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks

Hi everyone. I have been programing for 10 years with Featurecam, now for various reasons i need to learn Mastercam. I know how to make parts and machine. I need to take what knowledge i have and make mastercam do what i want. I am using a full version of X3. For now 3 axis milling is my top priority. Has anyone else made this change over? how did you do it as quickly as possible. The way the WCS and stock is handled is very confusing to me right now.... Thanks
