  1. I am using x9, do you think there is a way you could save that shape in a certain format so that I could open it in x9? And the center diameter has to be 11.902"
  2. I am actually going to use this to create a negative of it on the OD of a 11" diameter round part using Boolean remove. Then I have to figure out how to machine it on a 4 axis machine.
  3. How would one create a "variable" torus? Not sure if that is the right word for it... what I need is a torus that is on one side a diameter of 10mm and then increases in diameter to 62mm on the other side, and then decreases back down again to become the 10mm on the first side. Tried to create a solid using sweeping and lofting but couldn't come up with the right result. Anyone know how to do this?
  4. Ok good enough, that's awesome thanks so much for your help!
  5. Ahhh ok.... never thought of just using a 3d contour.... so do I just set the spindle speed at zero then? And do I have to manually add in the M19 for orientation?
  6. I need to do a broaching operation to the ID of a shaft on a mill, and I don't see any toolpaths in mastercam for broaching or slotting. I am using a Mazak VTC that has the ability to do spindle orientation. How do I go about doing this??
