Hi guys!
I have recently started planning a 4:th axis for my mill. I am thinking about simply adding a small lathe chuck to my table, so that the workpiece is parallel with the X axis.
However my question is, how do i draw 4 axis toolpaths and geometry in Mastercam? I have tried different things but i don't understand how it is supposed to work and I can't find any "tutorials" or demos on the internet either.
Does anyone have some simple example files that would get me started on learning this? For example a round stock piece in the chuck, drill a hole in it, rotate a couple of degrees, drill another hole and so on? I have tried drawing cylindrical solids and stuff like that but i don't know which toolpaths to use or anything.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Best regards
