using 2 diffrent tools for a VF1 for mastercamX5

[willx2742]

hi everyone, im a college student at TTC at pulaski. anyway we just got mastercam x5 and me and my brother is the only one to learn about it and work with it, well i have been doing good and Not crashing that much lol. but i got tired of just useing just one tool and wanted to expand my project and not keep on making 2 or more for different tools. if anyone could teach me step by step that would be great, or a video would be fantastic.

thank you

You are at a College but they aren't teaching you?:


I'd be asking for my tuition back if I were you.


My suggestion:

GO and get an entry level job in a machine shop and learn how to not crash machines...learn how parts are made, get familiar with code, then get on the cam...It will make more sense that way.

very good advice I think our trade schools and colleges are letting the students down. While making a lot of money from tuition. Giving these people a false idea they are going to step right in and got to work on m cam after class. My take is if the instructor on mcam was up to snuff he would be out in the field making better money than teaching it in a school just my 2 cents and sure someone will beat me up on this view
