MULTIPLE WCS (G54, G55) IN MASTERCAM LATHE ENVIRONMENT
Hi ! Here is the scenario :Im in a LATHE environment and I have a 250mm 9.84inch) long bar with a 30mm (1,18inch) diameter that i would like to clamp short in order to face and center drill (1ST OPERATION (G54) ) and after that unclamp and stick it out 200mm (7.87inch) and use a tailstock center to sustain the extreme side and then starting the turning of the bar with a new WCS (G55) (2ND OPERATION).
To cut it short,IN MASTERCAM LATHE , HOW CAN I USE TWO DIFFERENTS WCS ( G54 and G55) in one setup?

Use the Planes.
For your default plane set the work offset to manual and 0. Duplicate the plane, move your origin to where you want for G55 and set the work offset to 1.
In the Parameters folder under toolpath parameters - below the tool list it says Axis Combination \ Spindle Origin. If you click on the picture you can choose which plane to use per operation.

Sounds like you really need to do a stock advance. Is this have two spindles or a single?
