Thank you for your detail and concision. In which cases would importing workholding as you've done here for OP 2 be best SOP? I understand the benefit of double-checking for collisions, but I wonder if there are others that I am overlooking. Thank you!
I want to express my gratitude for your hard work. As usual, the explanation is nice and clear. Where can we get the part so we can follow along step by step through the tutorial? Also that list of tools files and that fixture
First off, thank you so much for these Mastercam videos, you are helping me a lot in learning the program! I have a question though: When it comes to soft jaws, could I like buy them online for my fixture, or do I have to take a piece of block and machine it based of my hard jaws on my vise (and the contour of my part) and then cut them in half or what...? I'm wondering what's the process like since I haven't been to a workshop yet and have no practical experience so I'm curious.
Hi, you can usually purchase soft jaws from companies like Schunk via websites like MSC Direct. There's some other options too, however I think making my own soft jaws is a very affordable and easy process. I can also control the modeling heirachy using Parent Child references in SolidWorks. Thanks for watching! :)

Hi, I actually just started working on a better way to share files. I'll be sure to make a video and send out an update when that goes live.
