Oleg, Thank you for your comment. We have an upcoming Mastercam 2017 Webinar on September 14. Here is the link to register. mlc-cad.com/events/mastercam-events.html?task=view_event&event_id=4088
Was wondering if there was a way to mill out the cutter pockets with a circle path or contour like you 5 axis drilled without setting a plane for each hole?
That’s a great question. You can absolutely do so. In the multiaxis group of toolpaths, there’s one just for that, named “Circlemill 5-axis”. It allows for a variety of strategies for circular interpolation of holes, and allows selection of features just the same as “Drill 5-axis” allows. Very easy to use. If you have additional questions, please contact us contact us through our website mlc-cad.com and we will be happy to discuss this more.
In MCfSW, you just need to select the option for “features” for entity type, and then select the cylindrical faces of the holes. The hole axis will be automatically determined that way.
Is it possible to turn an O.D. that isn't on center line without using a fixture, a 4-jaw or C-axis milling? Or turn an O.D. that rotates on a x axes that is not the absolute center line? I've seen Mazak videos where they turned a crank shaft. Here's a video. I'm drilling but curious how to turn or bore. Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/70VI7qA8bdw/v-deo.html
Nice work, with a lot of good information very helpful. I'm the guy who actually built the Haas UMC750 machine used to do the simulation
Craig Butler : can I have machine simulation. phongmai732002@yahoo.com
Thank you, Craig! That is very cool work.
Very nice work. Thank you very much for sharing with us.
Thanks for the comment!
Hola que tal, un favor ¿donde puedo descargar un modelo asi como el que tienes? gracias por el apoyo.
to Ryan Green I got mastercam 2017 home edtion and I am looking for webinars on 2017 msatercam

Is there a hole axis creation feature in mastercam for solidworks? I cant find it anywhere.
In MCfSW, you just need to select the option for “features”
for entity type, and then select the cylindrical faces of the holes. The
hole axis will be automatically determined that way.
Could you please sent me this 3D file? Thanks!
Can you share that virtual machine? :D
send me your email
+Craig Butler correleqtalcanzo@gmail.com hey thanks :D

Can You sent me 3D file. Thanks
I'm sorry, the 3D model in this case has not been cleared for public distribution, only for demonstrations of the product.
