Powerful Roughing and Finishing

Fast, efficient bulk material removal and precise finishing are essential to efficient NC programming. Mastercam gives you a variety of techniques to turn all of your parts exactly as you need them.

• Variable roughing for better use of expensive inserts.
• Downward roughing.
• No plunge roughing and finishing.
• Intelligent roughing of inside and outside diameters, including roughing to a boundary for castings.
• New plunge turn toolpath designed specifically for ISCAR cut grip inserts.
• Optimized center line facing including roughing and finishing.
• Finish contouring (profiling), with optional multiple passes for a better finish.
• Smart Up / Down Finishing uses different motion within a single chain based on the angle of the part.
• Automatically create a finish pass after a rough operation using the same tool.
• Automatically break corners during finish passes without changing your model.
• Set feed rates for desired finish quality.
• Boring, drilling, and point-to-point machining.
• Chuck, part, steady rest, and tailstock detection.
• Click and drag a machining start point anywhere on the model.
• Mastercam’s stock recognition knows what is left after each operation.
• Automatic gouge checking watches the front and back of the tool.
• Open and directly machine a solid model.
• Powerful tool angle control for machines with B-axis tooling arms.
• Mastercam's Quick Toolpaths let you program parts completely with just a few simple clicks.
