Before chain selection ,select + point and the next select circle boundaries then tool path depth down on drill point centered which done by drill diameter to make the pocket mill.
@@CamInstructor I couldn't have said it better myself, the real struggle I have is trying to balance out where my time is most efficiently spent. Training and teaching the guys on the shop floor, or just sitting behind the desk even though the shop doesn't run nearly as efficiently as it needs to. I would love a video giving your take on what your personal experience has been if you ever get the chance sometime :)
As it was said plunging in the hole then moving to the center of the main feature will result in a very aggressive first cut. Couldn’t you use a spiral inside out? That way you plunge where it’s safe and then use the endmill as it’s intended?
For our certification, yes. You can use the exercise files form the later lesson in each course and also the multiple choice tests to prepare for the final practical test.
In your Config Settings, on the Selection page, top right corner there is a toggle for Auto-Highlight as well as some other settings to control how it looks when on.
i think i discovered a better way to do that efficiently than doing aggresive move to the center after plunge ( it will kill your endmill not on the 1st part but on to the next) just use dynamic mill toolpath and use stock (rest material) check one other operation and check also your source operation which is the drilling cycle. yo can change then into plunge .. voila !! that's efficiency !
With Circle Mill or Helix Bore you cannot move your entry motion off the center of a circle. The point of this video is how to control the entry motion location, which I've used pocket as the toolpath to demonstrate with.
@@CamInstructor That’s true, but I would not use circle for demonstration that’s why is a quadrant for. Like this it’s not clear and clean demo. Thanks

Efficiency is the name of the game, preach on!
Half the battle is the correct toolpath, the other half is using it efficiently!

@@chazz.zaragoza.9561 Thats a great idea!

Will the same idea work with Optirough toolpath?
Hi Mike can I please ask you if have some prep exersices for the Mastercam certification
For our certification, yes. You can use the exercise files form the later lesson in each course and also the multiple choice tests to prepare for the final practical test.
Oh my god you did all of that so fast. Is it expected that people move that quickly during the exam?
No. 2 hours should be plenty of time to complete the test. You don't need to move as fast as I do in the videos.
GREAT VIDEOS
How do you takeoff the auto highlight or even change the brightness or the color on it we are dying to know

So simple & obvious but yet so many people do not understand #SAVEYOURENDMILLS
Thanks for the video.
Your welcome!
thank you sir i have learned from this 👍
Glad to hear that
Starting to answer the question at 6:15
But the first 6:14 is ok, so watch it too :)
Wait how the hell u take off auto high light
There's a check box in your Config. Depending on mcam version it is either under Screen or Selection.

Always more than one way to do something in Mastercam. With this test though, we are asking specifically for the pocketing operation.
👍👍👍👍👍
You fail instructor, for this thing you dont use pocket you use bore circle the name said.
