Hello,
I am new to the forum and could really use some help. I am a High School senior and have to make a chess set as the senior project for our Machining class.
We use Mastercam X2 and I have been drawing my pieces and trying to run the toolpaths to generate the code to run on our machine (little Omniturn Hardinge). I have been having a heck of a time with the toolpaths, and I'm really a bit lost as to what some of the buttons do. I have been reading the Mastercam books and have gone through a few of the tutorials before I embarked on my own project. I have been using Mastercam most ever day for about five weeks now but most of my work has been 2D milling and the lathe work just doesn't seem as easy to grasp for me.
If anyone would be willing to give me a hand I would be happy to host any of my project files on my website so you can take a look at them.
Thanks,
Erik Fellenz
