Running it now. I'll report back in a few minutes...

Worked like a charm! Thank you so much.

How did you generate that file?

I use Mastercam, Drawing and Gcode

Happy if this helped you with your work

Jeff

ostie,

i have started using mastercam recently and i am really confused by it. i was wondering if you would share the file you created for me, but i understand if you dont want to. i was hoping to see it so i could try to understand how you defined the material as well as how you drew all of the holes. i have done a few tutorials but for the most part i still dont get it.

also, i seem to be missing something i think, but mastercam also has cad? it doesnt look like very powerful cad unless im missing something, but i thought it was just cam. can you clarify this for me please?

thanks,
Tony

What version of MasterCam do you use.

I use X4 so if you use older version, will not be able to save toolpath.

Jeff

I am using X5.

Just draw the table top and made a simple program.

I don't remember exactly if it is the same as I sent you the first time.


Jeff

Thanks for posting that program. Unfortunately I still have no idea how to use it or how you generated the array of holes. I think I need to get a book because Mastercam is crazy complicated. Usually I can just figure out how to use software but I can't even get it to make the simplest tool path. I knew this going in though, so I mostly expected to run into this problem. It seems like the most powerful CAM program I've ever seen, so hopefully it will be worth the trouble to become familiar with it in the end.
