Hi Hendra,
What machine and control ?
I assume a lathe. Does it have just C-axis , any other axes ?
This give us a picture of what it also cannot do.

What sort of operation would you want to start with ?
Can you do cross holes , flats ( end / side milling ) etc.?
What level do you think you are at ?

What version Mcam?

HI superman,
I do have the mastercam x version.
Yes for any machines since i'm just learning how to design this part. I'm looking to learn how to drill crossholes, polygon cutting.
My email address is hinnie_18@yahoo.com

I hope you can help me with the machining.

Thanks

Regards,
hendra

Hendra,

1st, ***COPY*** your post for this machine, and place it in a backup directory

Open the post with a text viewer, and read the comment section at the top instructing you how to program for this post to output correct code, understand the section about your WCS and planes so that any machining done on the ends will be in sync. to any machining done on the radius

When exiting the viewer, if it asks to save ---DON'T---, it is very easy to stuff the post.

Working on a new training cd for Advanced lathe right now. Almost done. It will cover C axis, Y axis & B axis (Integrex Style) machining.

Mike, i bought your 3D CDs before. It's a bit too expensive but i learnt a lot. When you have the lathe CD, if it's not expensive, please let me know. I'll purchase your advance lathe CDs for sure. I can't afford the cd more than $100.

Mike, i have another comment for your CD. Can you also do a harder geometry? such as the crankshaft on cnc lathe,
