If you meant using contour on one line then I will have no control on the opposite side.

So, usually what I do is to surround the slot with an rectangle box and use pocket. I just wondered if there is a way to do this type of slot by using two parallel lines only. But sounds like there...

K. That's the way I do usually. Thanks!

I wonder what is the way you guys use to machine an opened slot? Like what's shown in the pic.

Does any one know how to create manual tabs in MasterCAM X6 for Solidworks in contour toolpath? I am so frustrated! I can create tabs automatically but not able to change their locations. I need to...

I agree with you. I would group my operations into different toolpath group too.

Your file is very helpful! Now I see how this thing works! Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for your reply, txcncman! I used to do the way you suggested. But it's a big headache once the part gets very complex. There are always something missing if I don't look carefully. I think...

Hi,

I have a part that needs to be machined from three sides (front, bottom and back). So I have a MasterCAM program that has three toolpath groups. Each group contains the toolpaths for each...

Thanks for ur...

What version is that? I am using X5 now.

I have two parts that have to be machined and they are mirror image to each other. So, I toolpathed the left side one and it worked fine. Then I use mirror function to mirror the solid and the...
