this is my file ,thanks for help
CHAIN.mcam
last 10 years I try find some shop when I can learn from some one ,no luck .Everything what I now is from this webside or youTube .No one send me for any training for mastercam or some type of control
cam -eleon ,can you select on swarf toolpath 2 sides on surface ,the tool can run on surface from left to right and jump to others side and the same time run from right to left ???
Ok ,my question was ,Can I run this back and forth like on this video use 5 axis toolpath on mastercam???I do not ask for you time and program .simple question yes ore no
I asked what 5 axis toolpath I can use for get same thing like this .I am not 5 axis expert .When I try morph 5axis I can finish only one side (wall ) the make other one for other side .This sample show ,haw you can finish this part run both sides .
thank you Rich
Thanks Rich ,I now this method .Foe simple stuff this will be work ,but I thought more complicate parts .Like this have variable pitch and I like to machining all surface .
this is about toolpath to ,
haw I can get same result on mastercam .This is 4 axis option from other cam software .I now I van use morph toolpath and finish one side and use other toolpat for finish 2nd side .But I like to run back and forth
