MILLING CONTOURS OR OPEN POCKETS IN MASTERCAM

The 'POCKET' routine is not the only option when machining open ended pockets. Learn how to use the 'CONTOUR' feature and how to change step over, depth of cut and lead in and lead out moves.

I paid $90 for a Mill tutorial ebook from Emastercam and when it came to setting up the contouring on a simple external step, the instructions simply did not work. Not only that but the tutorial ended up setting up for conventional milling instead of climb milling. What a waste of money. Your video has gave me a much better understanding of this type of setup, so thank you very much. I love the way you explain things slowly, methodically and clearly. Great stuff.

Thanks for the videos please keep up the mastercam series , more helpful than my mastercam teacher !

[@WATERJET1971]

[@aces6123]

Well done. Just starting with Mastercam, Your videos are helping a lot

[@funtimebill]

thanks for doing this video. i never thought of useing contor. I just asumed it was only good for a profile cut. Makes total sence that it isnt thanks again!

[@TomStikkelman]

+Greg Thornhill Thanks Greg.

[@georgeroper9210]

yet another great video.i can understand lead in/lead out for the most part.would love to see a video on that,but my question is about using wear.my books don't explain the differences on compensation types and when to use them.thanks again,your videos are the best............

[@TomStikkelman]

+george roper Thanks George. I will cover that subject in more detail soon.

[@samdoan1874]

You are the man.

[@efraincaballero7482]

This is an interesting approach, but there's a standard option for "Pocket".
On "Cut Parameters", go to Pocket Type and select "Open Pocket"

[@performancerdllc2585]

great video, I always like straight line cut. Shortest distance between to points? less time and machine wear.

What does checking the wait box do when selecting the partial chain ?

Verry good

[@chauhanhardik3295]

Thanks...Best tricks

[@farhad64it]

What is the difference between finishing pass on dept of the cut and the multipass?

[@TomStikkelman]

Multi pass controls the step over. Depth finish pass only controls depth of cut.

[@shashikumaracc333]

Tq Sir. Super

Its MastercamX7 ?

[@natecollins5275]

What doses roll cutter do?

[@sebastiantaylor2600]

Inserts arc moves around corners in the toolpath.
None: guarantee all sharp corners.
Sharp: only roll the tool around sharp corners (135 degrees or less).
All: roll the tool around all corners and create smooth tool movement.
The radius of the arc moves equals the radius of the tool. This option is available only when compensation in computer is turned on.

[@danieltoosi5415]

it is contouring, not open pocketing !!!!!!!!!
