CNC WEST June/July 2018 www.CNC-West.com 69 geometry now easily runs along sharp corners, giving you greater flexibility and precision when modeling. If any sharp corners are encountered, Mas- tercam miters them. Hole Axis is now easier to use with a large number of holes, especially holes with matching diameters that are selected as a group. New Direction op- tions allow you to change the direction of the holes easily, and newOrientation options determine the direction of the top of the holes. Other Mastercam 2018 Design Improvements include: a new gnomon- based rotation control is now avail- able, allowing you to visually rotate the seam to see how geometry will respond, as well as snap to AutoCur- sor positions. Also, users can easily translate from inches to millimeters, or frommillimeters to inches, when using Scale. And Align Note is now avail- able as a drafting function, allowing you to move existing notes and labels in a way that is more organized and easier to read. New Multifunctional Chamfer Cutter Series- Tungaloy Tungaloy has added a multifunc- tional chamfer cutter series to its TungQuad family. It enables the completion of multiple chamfering operations with one cutter. The series uses compact inserts in positive, single-sided, square shapes with a cutting- edge length of 0.200”. This enables the same cutter to front- chamfer holes as small as 0.240” in diameter and back-chamfer holes as small as 0.510” in diameter. The series’ cutters can chamfer along the edges as well. The series uses Tungaloy’s existing SDMT05 and SDHT05 TungQuad inserts, in grades AH725, AH140, and TH10. Three types of cutter bodies are stocked in 12-, 14-, and 22-mm shank diameters. Special cutters are available, though the series is currently obtainable in metric shanks only New Products JOIN US!
