when i use Surface rough pocket with a boundary is there a way i can control the cutter to
climb mill only with out turning on the finish parameter for a finish cut. The cutter chatters when a take a heavy cut in conventional cutting really what to rough the pocket out and the finish cut is a waste of time in this operation.

You can have a look in the cadcam's FTP, Under MC8 folder called Chev_badges.zip . These two badges are the real models i used to manufacture the tooling for the new chev trucks Last year , These cars should be on the road now .

Hi, Mike
I Will email you my posts that i have for mazak vqc which runs with mcam v9 no problem with that.
I had a look at one of the mazak manuals it's about 300 pages i will try to photo copy the manual and send it via mail. I will let you know. I also have a training book step by step were it shows you part exercises and setups for mazaks controlS were i first learned how to programme mazatrol that's only about 20 pages i think that will suit you and this time...
PS: I am located in Sydney Australia Down Under Did you hear what happened In Bali ? I think they are after the aussies now ...

Hi Cadcam,
I had a look at your standingletters.mc9 file which you made for me but it was not what i was looking for , First of i need to use only v cutters lets say 20 deg d-bit with .20mm dia and it must go around each letter at a defined increment 0f .05mm step size each move is a 3d move in xyz so it can walk up the corner of the letter to give it a .1 rad in ther corner . The letters ar aproxx 3mm high, and on a convex curve
Thanks for your help
Regards Savtav
Hi Cadcam,
Thank for going out of your way to help me
From what i can see from gif file it looks like the letters are sharp ,but not very clear . Can you send the file to the ftp so i can take a closer look at it. I Had a rep from delcam come in today showing me Artcam pro v5.5 and it did what i wanted it to do but i would rather go with mastercam of cause.. Did you create the file using the ver9 engrave package adon ???? if so please explain...

Hi Cadcam, Did you get some time to look at my problem ??
One thing i don't know is how can i engrave letters on a convex or concave 3d curve and still sharpen the corners of the letters The letters have to be standing up like letter stamps. I have tried to project flat letters on to a surface curve but with no success. Any ideas......any one

Cadcam ,
I also use the the new engraving addon for v9 , It is a must for anyone you engraves alot . I do a lot of electrode and mold work and the best part about it is how it can pick out corners of letters giving it a sharp chisel look using v-cutters.
