Hello, I am new to the forum and the CNC world. I just purchased a CNC lathe equipped with mastercam. The machine is not up and running yet so I dont even know what version of Mastercam it has at this time. Does Mastercam offer any type of simulator that is available to practice programming? I am currently taking a CNC class and can see how much of a help it would be to have a simulator available to practice at home. Kurt

Colin, I'm not sure what version I am dealing with yet. I just purchased the machine and I am still in the process of getting it installed. The machine uses a Fanuc controller and the lathe was manufactured in 1995 but not put into use until 2000. I hope to get it started up this weekend so I may be able to get you an answer. Kurt

Thank's for the information. Because the machine is older maybe I will not have to upgrade to do want I want.

Hello all, this is my first post and I wasn't sure where to post it. I recently purchased a small Emco Cnc lathe equipped with mastercam. I was wondering if I could upgrade the software etc. since I am not the original purchaser. Thanks Kurt
