Creating Geometry
• Create the 2 dimensional drawing in the X and Z axis
• Only need to create half of the geometry

7
Stock Setup
• Stock Setup parameters let you set default information for the
current job
• This includes general information such as setting toolpath
configuration defaults, spindle and turret defaults,
determining tool offsets, and choosing lathe tools and
materials

8
Lathe Tooling – Drilling
– Boring
– Threading
– Grooving

9
Turning Tools
• Different styles to accommodate different
applications – roughing finishing, profiling

10
Turning Tool Inserts
 Different types to accommodate different materials

11
Drilling – Types of Drills

12
Boring – Tool Holders

13
Threading

14
Threading

15
Cutoff Toolpaths
• Cutoff Toolpaths
vertically cut off pieces
of the part, such as
sections of bar stock
• You select the point
where the part is cut
off

16
Parting Off - Grooving
• There are three categories of lathe grooves you can choose
from in Mastercam
• These are: standard, canned, and quick. Standard grooves let
you create grooves defined by one point, two points, three
lines, and an inner/outer boundary

17
Grooving Parting Tools
 Used to:
 Cut-off the part

 Machine grooves

 Profile
