Mattera's CDs are very good.

Mikes CD's are very good and you can always go back and watch them if you need to brush up on something. I used the 4 axis and rotary cd and it really has helped me understand programming an idexer and tombstone work. I have not used the other cds but if they were as good as the 4-axis cd then you have nothing to worry about, money well spent!

Thanks for the "thumbs up" guys. After answering the same questions for year after year, I decided to create the training videos. Some of my first videos were produced as far back as V7 (although I've been producing training material for over 23 years).

The difference detween my training and everything else is, mine is "Procedure Based Training" not "Feature Based Training". What I mean by that is.... I dont just show you how to drill a hole. I show you a part, explaine what needs to be done to the part to drill a hole. Then I explain why we're doing the part this way. That might be followed by an explaination of other options for doing the same thing depending on your part.

They are designed to show you a variety of ways to do your toolpath, so you can deciede which way works best for your parts.

People that have used Streaming Teacher and My videos, prefer the explainations in my videos. As Rickyt said "you can always go back and watch them if you need to brush up on something". Streaming Teacher is a subscription service. If you stop paying, you loose access to the information.

Jedi: Have a look at the web site, or call me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to talk to you.

Mike, are you going to release a new cd containing the new High Speed Toolpaths, or the new adavanced multiaxis stuff?

[cadcam]

Ya Mike are you still making new "X" Discs?

[Mike Mattera]

Probably wont be any new Mastercam Training CD's. Since I dont have a seat of Mastercam and the people at Mastercam dont seem interested in having me produce anything new. So I'll use my time to developing EdgeCam Training CD's and Anilam CNC Control training DVD's.

Which is good news for the Edgecam & Anilam users.

I'm sorry to hear that, your cd's are very good and I know they have helped alot people learn Mastercam. I think having options on training helps everyone, either books, cd's, online training, and reseller training, having the options that fits in budgets and time frames was a real plus, and a great selling point also. Inhouse Solutions have somenew books coming out, but I have learned more form one section of your cd's than reading those manuals.

I also purchased your X version 3D toolpaths and found it very usefull.
