How to Specify Entry & Exit Points in Mastercam Contour Toolpath

To learn more about Mastercam visit us online at mlc-cad.com/mastercam/
When using a Contour toolpath it may be necessary to get a more specific entry and exit behavior from a user-defined point rather than a plunge or a traditional lead-in/lead-out. Our expert Sherman Snyder walks you through how to define and utilize a start point for multiple chains in a contour toolpath. With a defined entry and exit point the toolpath cuts exactly as intended for this counterbore. ‪@mastercam‬ #CNC #Toolpath

can i use center entry point when i m using "RAMP toolpath" ? thanks

[@MLCCADSystems]

When using the ramp option in contour, Mastercam will grey out the start point option making it unavailable.

What is the hhhhh you tried to explain Sir. You are not ability to teach people than gentleman in Seattle though. When you try to show how to people you must try to be yourself like beginners

This topic is not a beginner topic and will require knowledge and understanding of entity selection and toolpath creation before you can follow along. If you are just learning how to make toolpaths I recommend one of the Getting Started Mill videos.
