Okay looking for a good Master Cam 9 mill book or tutorial or any way to learn Master Cam 9 without having to pay an arm and leg for it.

Well, let's see.
I found 5 or 6 MasterCam V9 books on Amazon.com under $50US in about 2 minutes.

My Mastercam dealer won't support V9 for it customers. Ya the people who spent thousands of dollars there. But they still sell all the books for V9 to software pirates. I guess there no money left in support.

Go to Emastercam.

So I guess it makes sense to you that if I take my 67 camaro in for an oil change the dealer will say even if you want to pay for it no dice. Sorry pal. Buy a new one if you want an oil change?

I think not. It's BS.

I don't want free support. I asked my dealer to make me a post for money. You know. Kinda the way any other business works.

Your old.

John this statement is of no comparison to the one i made.this is an absurd statement that has no relevance to the conversation.If the dont support v9 then u cant get them to make u a post for it even for money.the reason being is they want you to move forward not backward.it takes resources to support even for posts.the company would rather us those resources to support x-x5.they are doing smart business and not wasting time or money on old versions.MY GOSH YOU CRY MORE THAN MY 4 MONTH OLD! you shouldve leased the software before commiting to a purchase like i did this way u couldve gotten out with no strings and we all wouldnt have to hear your copious amounts of whining on a rather good and informative forum.NOBODY LIKES A DEBBIE DOWNER.it sounds to me that u dont practice smart business practices.please learn some then maybe u could comment intelligently.

I'll try not to whine just for.

Isn't there a way you can just skip over my posts or don't show posts from me.

Kinda like trying to have all the radio stations you don't like taken off the FM band.

John the best way is for you to stop posting within the mastercam forums and move on with whatever software u decide on.i am sure you will like no one elses software either but at least you wont be posting in here and being a big pain in the A$$.

Ok. Just help me understand why you are so important that your opinion belongs here more than anyone else's.

No wait. I don't care. LOL.

You must have come over from the Emastercam forum. You got a little brown stuff on your nose looks like.
This a public forum here.

People who are about to shell out 17-25K for software should be able to hear the whole story. Not just the hype spewing from dealers resellers and training peddlers.

John i am not here from the emastercam forum.i am an end user of the product.as for you it is people like you that make public forums a place that no one wants to visit or be part of.you comment on everything and always put your two cents in on how much dislike you have for the product no matter what the topic is.basically your posts look like spam and should be banned all together.you never help only spread your negativity.nobody wants to hear the samr thing over and over again.they come here for help not to hear your sob story about how dissapointed you are with the product. you should just go start your own forum if you want to spread your negative thoughts.they are not needed and not welcome here.

Says you.

I do get some fan mail....

And the odd thanks.

And the odd email question about my experience and pricing.

I did donate a full 3axis CNC kit to a perfect stranger here on this forum who seemed interested in starting the hobby but had no coin. Also many shared post processors.

I even sponsor an annual machine shop award at my old high school every year.

So far you have come asked questions and insulted. What's next?

John, I can only imagine the issues you have with CNC software, but those issues are between yourself and them.
your comments are not in the correct context with the thead and are therefore contravening the "ZONE" rules,

Now back on topic...I found the best books had all kinds of example parts to go through. Repetition early on really gets you up to speed quick...so my advice is to look for that type of book. You want the book to make you have hands on the computer while going through it...
