Thank you Sherman for taking the time to create such a thorough video of what it takes to create the CAM side of a lathe operation. Your efforts are very well organized as well as intuitive. I also like the fact that you took the time to show in, several instances, more than one way to "skin the cat". I have been programming for 25 years in G-code but for reasons I won't go into here, I find myself behind the times with this approach to metal working. I have been attempting to learn Mastercam on my own through videos such as yours and others ... (Titans of CNC comes to mind). My question to you is... do you think it will be enough to attempt to learn Mastercam this way or should I consider enrolling in a professional institution that is industry certified and would be what a potential employer is looking to see on a resume? I know this may sound like a silly question as MLC CAD Systems may very well be just such and institution but clearly I'm not familiar with MLC. I would encourage the opportunity to reach out to you in a way/forum that is a little more professional than just the "comments" section of a UA-cam video and thanks again for such an outstanding tutorial!
Hi, Michael! Happy that you're learning from our content. although strictly learning on your own is a viable route, but if you wanted to learn the ins and out of Mastercam from an established institution we provide training at MLC CAD Systems. You can learn more here: www.mlc-cad.com/training/mastercam/
My problem in particular was that when I programmed the drill then bore. It didn’t register the hole size from the drill And just tried to do a g70 pass for the bore.
This is a great question to pose to your support provider. If you are an MLC CAD Systems customer, you can reach out to your local team or the full team with the information here: www.mlc-cad.com/technical-support/ You may also want to review this Advanced Lathe Tips and Tricks webinar that goes into more detail on the topics you're interested in: www.mlc-cad.com/advanced-lathe-tips-tricks/
Hi Sir. Could you help me this alarm on mastercam lathe please please! " No areas of remaining stock found " after I created stock, Chuck for dynamic roughing grooving. Stock showed around model pretty good but didn't know why it pops up all time. Thank you

We chose Mastercam and SOLIDWORKS as our favorite tools for CADCAM, with Mastercam being the best CAM tool and SOLIDWORKS the best CAD tool. They overlap a lot in terms of functionality, so we did a breakdown of how they differ so you can see which one is a better fit for you, or if perhaps you need to get both. mlc-cad.com/solidworks-mastercam-or-both/

hello, beautiful class congratulations! I would like to ask a question. how to make custom trapezoidal thread prlo 3d model. ? how to make the route? thanks
I'm not sure if I fully understand your need, but this is a great example of a question that is perfect for contacting your reseller. There are ways to create custom threads, but the specifics of each request will be too detailed for a UA-cam video in many cases.
I believe we can, please submit a request according to this article and the lathe request form and we'll reach out with more information. www.mlc-cad.com/mastercam-help-center/how-to-request-post-processors/
This procedure can be followed on any model that Mastercam can import. Search around for 3D models online (3Dcontentcentral.com, grabcad.com) or see if one of the Signature Parts will work for you, it is available on Mastercam's website along with many other free resources like posts ua-cam.com/video/PPwdfwV3tYw/v-deo.html
Your video is very helpful! Have you come across something like when master cam would post G-codes but machine would do something else? I think this issue has to do with machine configurations. How would you fix the problem. Thanks in advance!
That is a very odd thing indeed, and would likely require an expert to help you troubleshoot it and narrow it down to the Mastercam project, the post-processor, or the machine control itself. Some CNC controls and variants can have special quirks that you have to know about and understand to work around or adapt your code to. If you are an MLC CAD Systems customer please reach out to our team to discuss your issue, mlc-cad.com/technical-support/, and if you need help with your post we can offer that service to just about anyone, mlc-cad.com/service-inquiry/ Good luck with your machine!
It has taken nearly 3 years to get mastercam as i like it for our Okuma multus B400W and thats ONLY for the milling side... not started on the lathe side till now and i expect there to be alarms galore. My Mastercam reseller in Sweden is excellent and my agreement covers this very in depth and very demanding area. Its a little odd i think that such a complicated machine is not already set up for this. Our post processor NOW posts at the top of every program... a tool list WITH load monitor info and load monitor Nr and operation Nr Also each operation contains the load operation Choice of Nr AND the load operation axis to monitor. Everything now posts clean. It has been a very long and laborious job with a high demand from my side to get it this way. I dont think anybody at work could comprehend the dedication it has taken to get us this far. And now we start with adding the clean posting of lath operations. Once done though.... the enjoyment of working with the machine is much better. My only concerns has been with management not understanding this and the worry of new mastercam versions messing up this mountain of work.
Mastercam is a software program that can create the instructions necessary for a CNC machine to cut parts out how the machinist wants it to cut. It is a manufacturing software tool. I hope that helps!
I asked one of our experts to test this and Chain worked on their file. It could be caused jaw geometry with overlapping or duplicate contours creating this problem, or not trimmed properly. This is a perfect example where your local reseller will be able to look at your files and workflow to help you figure out the best way to proceed. Best of luck!
@@MLCCADSystems I am using 2020. First of all, directions say to draw in upper quadrant. Which one? There are 2 upper quadrants on my planet. A right and a left. I tried both. No good. Secondly I tried a very simple geometry using a rectangle from the rectangle drawing feature. 4 entities (lines connected). No duplicates. All sides trimmed with no breaks. I used top view as stated in the instructions at Z0. No good. Nothing I see works. After I select the chain, it says to select the geometry, which I already did, over and over again.

Yea... you definitely need to check feeds and speeds, this tutorial is more geared towards how to create the toolpath than fine-tuning the feeds and speeds.
Best Mastercam training video I have seen yet...way better then Mastercam University
Thanks for watching, happy you enjoyed the video!

We're having the same problem with our Tool Room lathes. Did you ever figure it out?
why do you set up the x axis perpendicular to the chuck face?
That is the proper alignment for a standard lathe part.
Awesome video sir
Thanks!
Is there anyway to get the file for the Pawn? I am scheduled to take Mastercam training through you guys but wanted to get a head start
Absolutely! If you have a local sales or tech contact that would be the easiest way to get it, but I'll let Sherman know you're asking about it.

Whenever people create jaws they use "parameter" instead of "chain". Chain does not seem to work. Following the instructions for chain does not work.
I asked one of our experts to test this and Chain worked on their file. It could be caused jaw geometry with overlapping or duplicate contours creating this problem, or not trimmed properly. This is a perfect example where your local reseller will be able to look at your files and workflow to help you figure out the best way to proceed. Best of luck!
