MASTERCAM MILL TURN PROGRAMMING

In todays video, we are programming an Okuma LB3000 MYW using Mastercam. Programming is often the most difficult aspect of machining, and hopefully this video helped. We plan to make more videos like this, so let us know what topics you would like to see covered in the comments below.
Having the ability to simulate tool clearances and toolpaths increases confidence when its time to run the program. In this case, everything was set up by Cimquest our Mastercam reseller to work out of the box.

Even though I don't use MasterCAM anymore, keep these videos up. Keep me fresh so I can remember if I ever move jobs again that uses MasterCAM

For the edge break chamfers you can use the "model chamfer" tool path. It can be a little finicky but it will automatically trim the tool path on the lead in/out to avoid cutting into those walls. I will still use the regular contour route on normal chamfers though.

Great video. I run one of these as well (no subspindle) and program in mastercam
Did you opt to use the mill turn machine vs the standard lathe for the added programming environment? I seem to get all my 3d toolpaths to function well on the standard lathe environment. Just curious.

[@OctaneWorkholding]

The environment you see makes it easier to check clearances and performs functions like handoffs as our machine does have a sub spindle.

Turret assembly should be a feature in the lathe portion too...sigh..mastercam..
Where did you get your post-processor and machine definitions from?
Thanks for the video.

Seriously I feel like the lathe environment is 10yrs behind. He mentions Cimquest, probably where his posts are from although they do sub some of the more advanced posts to Postability. They are our reseller and our 5-axis post they got from Postability.
