I've done some custom posts for Mastercam, can you be a little more specific with your issues?
I've just heard that people get stuck with c-axis posts and we are looking to get a lathe with a c-axis and the best CAM to run it with. I don't have specifics yet.
must be daft programming and running the machie r u for real?
edward12 what do u mean?
Edmaster , I have many using Mastercam for C-axis with those machines.
We have in are office the Haas with Y & C axis.
What version are you running of MC have you talked with your dealer about these issue? By the way what are the issues?

Hi cadcam, we are running x2 mill level3. Dealer says no problem with the posts, but you always hear roomers of people strugling. So I'm testing the water before we get in. Can u get posts for c-axis or do u have to customize?
I also found mostly people strugle because of their own stupidity.

I will do it for a fee if you want to pay one I also do this for a living! I also help people here mostly for free but if it gets involved time is money where I work too and it took many years to learn this stuff. by the way Keep an eye out for up and coming E books of Mastercam training videos, also taking requests for stuff you might like to see as far as training material on video.
Please Let me know if you can't get what you are looking for with thw c axis post, CadCam is the Mastercam man here, he should be able to help you with this. Here is some free videos on the blog link.
