    Hello,work with

    Mastercam Turn has provision for a front and rear tool turret. One of the issues that really stands out is the universal lack of willingness to learn how to work with the MC post processor file in order to make it suit the users need. I discovered early on in my acquaintance with MC that mastering the post processor was the key to success with making MC fulfill my needs. You would be amazed by what a little post processor curiosity can accomplish. If you don't have time to learn then MC will write you a custom post processor file, but make sure you have a large wad of cash on hand.

    Good Luck

    Thank you, I will do my best working with the post processor. I think I have some good ideas.
