Morning all, it is here on the west coast. i am trying to create a tool path for my live tooling lathe. trying to machine a hex using the c axis (chuck) and x axis. how do you draw the hex and create the tool path. i am using mastercam 8 and trying to do this also in mcx. poor samples and very little resourses in the manual. any help would be a great help. thanks
Gerry
