i have been successfully learning from all of the videos, and understood them fully, except this one, that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. like nothing made sense here. just an honest opinion...

I don’t understand why we start with a -8 instead of a positive 8.

What if OD and moving +Z? Is it G42 or G41?

Hello where can I enable g68. 2 on mastercam?

Mr Tom I donde undersrood when you facing the part you put x2.2 instad the you put x1.2 because the tool stop at haf part en retorno overol the part.

How many axis is this machine

Poor spindle bearings 😢

Tom i am not understanding the basic here, i think so you should first clearly explain the thing or part which is moving? In this case i am not understanding either its bed on which workpiece is moving or the spindle which is rotating is also moving?

Video suggestion to touch off carbide/flat bottom drills.

TOM IS THE BEST

This helped me. I was trying on my own but without result. After this tutorila I finished program in 5 min. Before I was forced to program line by line... thanks a lot man! I had problems that undercut pocket is made by one tool path. So I found answer in Yaskawa programing book. In G71 you must define "R1" on the end of G71 line if you want machine to compute concave profile.After i put R1 it worked well. And you should not type W or K (rough and finish allowence in Z direct) G71 P5 Q10 U0.2 I0.2 D1.0 S100 F0.4 R1; N5. g00 x..z..; . . . N10 g00 x...;

THANKS TOM!

You could’ve done this backwards if you wanted it to really work so you’re don’t kill your insert correct me if I’m wrong

Are you in Texas still I would love to have you in my class

Clear as mud. Is there another basic I need to learn before understanding this lingo?

You shouldn't have to touch off on x with live tooling. It should have an automatic offset like − 14.201

When finishing the .005" final pass you'll probably use a G70 P100 Q102 line directly after this. And that means the G1 line in the G72 cycle needs to have your finish feed rate stated. Without that feed an alarm will happen.

Any idea how to change Mastercam x5 to large icons? I've looked around and can't find a tutorial on it. Thanks

U r the best...

What jaws do you have for that chuck

hi sir, how to contact you

Awesome been looking for a video explaining the g71 for ID this is the best so far thanks

Hi Tom my name is Hannes. I have been following your videos on macro b programming. We are incorporating the probe on a VTL lathe but I am having issues using the while loop on machining inside and outside diameters. Please could you share some InSite into how the while do will work on diameters when machining a profile that consists of chamfers and two or three different diameters. I will really appreciate the help. I have done a CNC program that uses a canned cycle to rough the profile to 5 mm from size. I want to use the while do statement to machine off the balance of the material before the probe goes and measures the dimension again. Once measured I will make an offset and rerun the same final profile cycle to recut the diameter in question. Thank you in advance

Would this work the same if I was using it as a sub program?

Thank you Tom for taking the time to create such thorough tutorial videos of Mastercam... your efforts are simply exceptional. I have been programming for 25 years in G-code but for reasons I won't go into here, I find myself behind the times with this approach to metal working. I have been attempting to learn Mastercam on my own (while working 50 hrs/week) over the last 18 months or so through KZfaq videos & other resources (Titans of CNC comes to mind). I just stumbled across your channel recently & I must say you have a real talent for education. It looks like the majority of your videos deal with the older versions (x7/x5) of Mastercam (which is understandable since they go back a decade) & while still very relevant, it does generally make it somewhat challenging to translate this over to Mastercam 2019 & beyond. Your last tutorial was 3 years ago & while I understand if you've moved on from a professorial role, it is my sincere hope that you, at some point, stand behind that podium once again. Your tutorials are the best I have seen on the web...intuitive, through & very well organized. Thanks again for such an outstanding body of work!

He is only removing .001 per pass. Just like cutting butter.

Love your method of explaining and utilizing the x-y coordinate system. Other videos I've watched never mentioned. Makes perfect sense to me now that I can pull from my college trig classes.

NICE JOB

Thank u Tom this video helped alot

A great video, thank you Mr. Stikkelman for sharing.

Mr Stikkelman, keep up the great work...I am thoroughly enjoying your tutorials. I am very new to this so I have a question. Can this be used along with the circle milling variable? Do they have to be integrated or do they run inline? and if so, which goes first? Thanks!

you made this harder than it needed. you could have just duplicated your main origin on the same geometry on the same location.

🇮🇷🌹🇮🇷🌹🇮🇷🌹GOOD ON YOU.

Such a great video machinist GOLD 👍🏻

hi can you show me how to calculate the speed and feed exactly,because in school show us very slow, i still very confuse about that ,thanks for your help,

Hi Sir, If it's not a problem, what software do you use Sir?

????? 😅

Thank you sir

流浪猫的事儿我支持，你控制不了的风险，不要去弄。就和什么放生似的，不懂别瞎几把整。

Angle face draw please

Can you show how to calculate face angle

CaN I know which software you have used for Program simulation

can you give the download link for mastercam x5 ?

Thank you❤❤

thank you sir, god bless

Fanuc control can also be type2 cycle workout...?

Sweet. Just used on my 2013 Yama Seiki GLS200 fanuc Oi-TD. GOTO. Thanks!

It's great video! I'm learning MasterCam 2023, it's still useful! One question: any change in parameter, can be demonstrated on the result during validation, which will be great to understand each parameters meaning.

Can you explain to me how I would write gcode for this but as if it was a pocket and I had to end mill the pocket
