Version v1.3
The Mastercam X7 Lathe Training Tutorial consists of 9 brand new part-oriented tutorials, and 9 practice exercises that provide users with an excellent foundation in Lathe. The material emphasizes the machinability of parts with suggested fixtures, setup sheets & more. The Lathe Training Tutorial is ideal for beginners and current Mastercam users alike. The tutorials introduce 2D, and later 3D geometry creation along with detailed coverage of 2D toolpaths such as Face, Rough, Finish, Drilling, Grooving, Grooving on an angle, Inside Boring, Cutoff, Threading and Canned Cycles for Rough and Finish. More advanced C-Axis toolpaths such as Face Contour, Cross Contouring, C-Axis Contour, Face Drilling, Cross Drilling and C-Axis drill follow later in the book. Details on Stock Transfer, Stock Flip, Stock Advance and tailstock toolpaths, in addition to instruction on importing a SolidWorks file and using the new Turn Profile command to create Geometry and a VTL tutorial are also found within. A General Notes chapter provides useful tools, shortcuts and toolpath parameter descriptions.From $35 -

In ver X6, How are you handling a bar pull ? Does the new feature in the MIsc Ops work? My post is going to be updated for this feature I hand wrote a code to do the work but I cant verify a Manual Entry or the tool. Point to point? Just wondering as the bar feeder won't hold the tolerance for a push. Machineguy

Good morning, I have a Eurotech dual spindle 740 slly. I was doing some live milling on the sub with g112. Just cutting some flats at 0 and 180 deg. I drew the tool path with a c-axis contour and it looked good but, after I posted it out it didn't work. It seems to use way to many c moves and the c and x are out of position. I ended up doing long hand at the machine. Just about 3lines of code per pass-lead in,cu,t lead out-compared to 30 lines when I post. What I'm asking is, am I missing something in the toolpath or some option in the machine defintion ? I am using slant bed lathe with c& y axis.

Hi, We are using Mastercam for Milling and Turning, but so far we only have single Turret Lathes. We are now in progress to buy an Twin Turret machine and I wonder how Mastercam handles this type of machine? Is it possible to control and program both turrets or do you need to program them separately? Can I chose if I want to use upper/lower turret on sub/main-spindel? Is it possible to simultate the entire workflow with docking and synchronizations?

Hey Guys, In the threading tool parameters tab at the bottom the compensation setting is greyed out, MC help file says that it's unavailable for threading tools. If you look a how its set, it's set to center. Who touches off their tool that way? Usually it's touched off from the front of the tool and the tip, every probe I've seen works this way. So we program the thread with the tool set to the default operator touches of the front and the tip, so the simulation in MC is not the same as what happening at the machine. We have to clip all our threads so I do this in MC the clip doesn't work out correct cause the tool was not set up to how MC has done it. Question #1 Is there a way to ungrey that field or get MC to use the front of the tool not the center? I can't create a custom tool for threading it still greys out that field I want to change. Question #2 Another issue is that you can only use threading tools to thread, we use a grooving to in a threading cycle to thread clip, so is the only way to do this in MC is to create a custome tool and thread with that? The only way that I can see to get it to work is to call all my threading tools a grooving tool so I can adjust the compensation setting. TIA Greg

Hi Need some help on a project here at work. We are roughing up some large 304 ss rollers ( 16" OD x 60" Length) by sending them out to be blasted. The results are inconsistent, at best. Does anyone here have any suggestions on a tool or process we can use here in house, to achieve the same result, while holding a decent tolerance on the OD? One of the guys here suggested knurling.... ? Thanks in advance, John -
First I don’t want to upset all the Mastercam users so please don’t be offended by my post. I have been an Esprit user for 10 years and recently got a new job and my new employer is a Mastercam user so I am learning the new software on my own. I have gone trough all the free lathe tutorials and still have a lot of questions and feel I haven’t covered anything thing I want to. I have two lathes with live tooling and a Y axis, when you go through the tutorials they don’t cover advanced machining for live tooling. I also feel like Mastercam doesn’t have as many luxuries as Esprit did for customizing tool paths and features. It just seems like there are less options with Mastercam, has anyone else out there been in my position before? Does anyone have any advice for switching software’s? Thanks,
