Just wondering how you program mill turning? Do you fat finger it or is there software that will let you program it? I use mastercam and i have a few projects coming up and i need to turn a profile and other things. I know i and long hand it but just want to see if anyone has done programing for it. Thanks

Re: Mill turning
Fusion360 CAM supports lathe. Also look at MachStdMill from Calypso (Calypso Ventures, Inc.). It has a Mill-Turn add on that works really well.

Re: Mill turning
Thanks Ray but i just have mastercam mill only. I don't think i'm going to buy any software. I was wondering if there was a way to program with what i have. :-)

Fusion360 is free, so nothing to buy.
