It usually happens when the cutter DIA is bigger than the corner Rad x 2... They never tried to solve this problem..

It's not a well refined toolpath, just keep using axis substitution..

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

2022 Mastercam cancelled Isometric view's construction plane back to top, is there any way to fix this problem? Just personal habit sometimes use Isometric to do top toolpath. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, all good now

Can somebody help me change the auto-highlight back to old style? The new style really makes me blind...

I used to use Esprit on MAZAK integrex i machines 2-3 years ago, before that I was all the time using Mastercam on 5 axis mills. After several months discovering I decided to quit the job and found another 5 axis Mastercam programmer job.. Looks to me Esprit toolpath is more automated but less controllable, also the CAD side is a piece of shxt.. I really hate everytime I have to draw a line then make the line a "feature" then start to use it.. Display is also another problem to me, my eyes got hurt.. Mastercam needs more lines picked up and more options need setup, but the details control is way better than Esprit.. I really like Esprit's group toolpath feature that you can make a simple toolpath for all similar features as group and auto-trim them, that saves lots of time on simple contour programming. My favorite function in Esprit is knit surface which provided by the CAD supplier (I forgot the name, same as my waterjet software).. In Mastercam power surface will do similar jobs..

Hi all, I just want to share a story with you guys. My tool supplier highly recommended a Korean brand ER tool holders called P******, he told me it had very good runout and we got some before I came to this company. Last week I ordered ER16 1/8 3/16 1/4 collets 2 of each from him of the same brand. When I got the collets, I tried one into the same brand nut and then I couldn't put my tool into the collet! The collet got pushed by the nut and the hole was too small for the tool! I tried all the collets to the same nut, none of them I can put my EM in (all K********* EM) I EVEN TRIED THE GAUGE PIN!!! So fxxk xxxxty quality, I called the supplier to the shop and showed to him, he got so embarrased, and took all collets back. I will never buy Korean tools any more. Regards

Thanks JParis, I was confused by the rotation direction. I will try to use axis-sub rough the part first and then curve it. Thank you!

It's X7

Had mill 1 training before(with certificate) :'( I made a axis-sub part 2 months ago and found the problem at that time, I used CW direction and made the part. Now when I use CCW direction which is correct for the machine setup, even curve give a wrong direction output, but the plane work gives the correct degree! Pls help me :'(

Hi all, I'm a new mastercam user, and trying to build something in mastercam now. The project is like this , I unrolled two lines to xy-plane and made a pocket. My pocket toolpath setting is like this and because I unrolled it CCW first ,so I chose CCW here. My rotary table is sitting at the right side of machine table and head to left, which has a CCW positive direction, so I use MD like this But when I posted the G code, I got a code like this , I used incremental to see it clearly, it's conventional cutting! If I change the MD to CW which is opposite side of my rotary table, I can get climb cutting but it's not right code! If I use a CW direction ,when I build a plane to work on, the G CODE is mirror like 10 degree plane it will give me -10 degree to work on! I'm using MPMASTER post. Pls help me , I have to finish a job before Tuesday otherwise I will be fired
