    Talking Best Mastercam x5 Beginners guide/book?

    I have Mastercam X5. I model everything in in solid works 2010. I have a large 3 axis mill/router. What are my best options for instruction? I would like a quality book that includes some basic tutorials to get me up and running. Cutting out simple 2D shapes, and simple 3D shapes. I like to import my solid works files directly into it. Most of the stuff i want to do is flat sheet and not very complicated. The controller for the mill will be Mach 3.

    It has Mill level 3 and Router level 3.

    Thanks!

    You should go with video tutorial.

    They're very good website that sell them.

    Much better for learning.

    I bought a lot of books about Mastercam almost all available.

    The problem is that they almost all use the same project from book to book.

    Tips For Manufacturing Multimedia Training Tools For Mastercam and Anilam is one of the best.

    But look for other, You Tube has a lot of good video.
