MasterCam boring question

May 27, 2008 2 Replies

Anyone ever figured a way to trick Mcam to do a Face roughing boring cycle where the tool cuts from Id to Od. I have a deep bore that I would rather not have the very first cut be the boring bar buried to full depth.



Man I HATE Mcam lathe, no wonder everyone hand codes.....

Chain the geo from id to od, in parameters, select face on cut type

"Flexability" And I beens usin the stuff fer mor than a year!! Seriously, there is a lot of toolpath power right there, I do 99.99% of my lathe programs with no toolpath editing. The other .01% I just havent found in the toolbox I call Mastercam.
