    I cant set my face mill (FMRCM 4100 HRD) in my MasterCAM !!!

    I am a new learner in MasterCAM.

    Recently, i have a profile needs to use raster function.

    Tool i wish to use is face mill :

    Face mill : FMRCM 4100 HRD
    Insert : RDCT 1204 MO-MA
    Holder : BT 40 FMC 32-60

    is it possible to use face mill in raster function ?

    The main problem is i cannot set my tool in my MasterCAM, anyone could just show me the way ?

    Thanks for helping

    Now it maters on the surface you are trying to use Raster on that you would use a face mill. As face mills do not like to plunge as that are not mad for it.
    Another thought you gave us a face mill number who makes it. you may want to the vendor site and see if you can get a tool profile from them being a DXF or STP if this is newer Mastercam. or draw a custom profile.

    there are some thoughts to start with.
