Applying Tool Paths for the Main Spindle in OneCNC Lathe Expert - CAM Training 1

In this training video, we will start applying tool paths for the main spindle using OneCNC Lathe Expert. We'll continue from where we left off in the previous video, managing and organizing tool paths for both the main spindle and subspindle operations.

Key Topics Covered:

Layer Creation:
Organizing geometry into separate layers for main spindle and subspindle operations.
Tool Path Group Setup:
Creating and renaming tool path groups for better organization.
Separating main spindle and subspindle tool paths into distinct groups.
Activating Tool Path Group:
Methods to activate tool path groups for focused operations.
Applying Tool Paths:
Steps to hide the solid model for better visibility of wireframe geometry.
Selecting and activating the appropriate machining operation.
Tool Selection and Setup:
Choosing the right tool from the tool library.
Setting tool parameters including turret position, feed rate, and spindle speed.
Configuring Machining Operations:
Understanding the options for tool path clearance and cut directions.
Adjusting settings for cut amount, groove control, and defining cut start and end points.
Generating Tool Paths:
Finalizing the tool path generation process.
Viewing the generated tool path in the NC manager.
