I've gotten pretty OK at setting up and operating, at least to the point where I can solve simple problems on my own, but I want to get better at programming. I have mastercam, and have used that...

I think the best thing to do is to make a fixture with a slot wide enough to accommodate a saw. The fixture would hold both the top and the bottom piece so when you cut it the part that you're...

You could set the part on parallels and saw it in half with a CNC tool saw? Idk what the right name for the tool is, but yeah. your part would likely come flying off a bit though lol.

got it figured out. cross-posted this question among different sites, so follow the link to see what I did to solve it

i mean i can make the program run point-to-point but it doesn't cut out an angle like i need it to. please help

Hi there. Every time I try to create a rough or finish cycle along the contour of this part, the program skips all the contour passes and just turns the OD. The angle i'm cutting is 30 degrees and...

I'm facing off my part and want my next operation (roughing the profile) to start right after the face, but instead the tool backs up a bit in Z+ before making the cut. I've messed with the lead-in,...

What kind of geometry is most pertinent to CNC machining?

Hi guys, somewhat new to CNC machining here, looking to broaden my knowledge through more experienced machinists. I'm mainly focusing on the programming part as of right now because my boss is paying...
