I'm very much a novice, but I primarily use HSMworks and think it has a very intuitive work flow, and the direct integration with Solidworks is a plus. I'm trying to learn Mastercam, but it seems like it's been designed by a bunch of old greybeards who daily drive unix terminals and turn up their noses to things like "modern GUI's"

Anyone here ever setup a machine assembly for machine simulation in hsmworks? I'm having an issue where the Z offset has a mind of it's own causing the spindle to repeatedly pile drive through the table. Tangentially related, I've been entrusted with firing up an unused UMC-750 at work for prototyping and it's going to be my first time running a big boy machine, so that's neat. I'm to the point of just needing to flush and refill the (empty...) coolant tank, and then I can start very over cautiously making chips.

Karia posted:For the UMC, one warning related to CAM simulation I'm running classic controls, so I guess I won't have to worry about that. And yeah, definitely going to walk before I run and stay in 3 axis land for a while while exploring 5 axis on the CAM side of things. Plus sorting through the pile of tooling that isn't organized or catalogued in any way. The previous guy literally left a pile of empty end mill containers on one half of a bench, and all the loose end mills in a pile on the other half.
