Need Help!- ROUGH TURN

[longo]

Hi all,

Been years since I have been in here

I work with 30-60 inch diameters
Mastercam X5

Is there any way to make the roughing cut from OD towards the Center.
Right Now if I have a part that is 40 inch Diameter and has a Hub on ity @ 10 X 1/4 deep, Mastercam will only cut in the Z direction making for a LOT of cuts. I would like to be able to cut in the X direction

You'd probably get more help if this was posted in the main Mastercam forum instead of the Post Processor sub-forum.

I'm somewhat new to Mastercam but I think you change this under 'Rough Parameters' > 'Rough Direction/Angle'.

You will have to "Face" instead of "OD turn"
- tool shape should still be the same,
- contour chain to select is from OD going to Hub

Hi, Thanks for answering. I had tried that and MC does locks up or just cuts on the od
