Multi-Op Programming in MasterCam (Second Operation & Stock Models)

In this video we talk about using first operation as a stock model for second operation.

I’m glad that I found this video.

Great video. Awesome to see Mitsubishi Materials tools in your tool list!

Some of the best drills in my machine. They cut through aluminum like butter!

Do you have any videos about tool lists or material types with speeds and feeds Excel in the calculation?

[@artofthepart]

It's definitely on my to-do list! There's some really great calculators out there for speeds and feeds. I usually use the manufacturers recommended values and/or Sandvik's apps.

Thank you, I would like to know the difference between a STL and a MESH file for op 2?

[@artofthepart]

Hi, they're effectively the same thing in this case. When you create a Stock Model it's basically creating an STL as a toolpath operation from the previously cut geometry. If you zoom in on the newly created Stock Model it's thousands of little triangles that make up a mesh. The same can be said with SolidWorks simulations when creating a mesh for test. Both programs are essentially creating an internal STL to be used for calculations, also known as a mesh. Hope this helps!

If op 2 is in the same machine I like to just put a manual entry M00 then a new tool path group for op 2 and post it all together.

That's really good advice, thank you!
