Creating Custom Insert Drills in Mastercam

By January 12, 2021No Comments

To create custom insert drills in Mastercam, users can utilize geometry from an existing insert drill assembly to create a new custom insert drill. First, users can open the existing insert drill assembly and extract the desired geometry for the custom drill, including the drill body and insert shape. Next, users can create a new custom tool assembly and import the extracted geometry as components. Once the components are in the new assembly, users can modify the dimensions and parameters to create the desired custom drill. Finally, users can save the new custom insert drill as a separate tool in the Mastercam Tool Library for future use. With this process, users can efficiently create custom insert drills tailored to their specific machining needs, improving their productivity and precision.

In this tech tip video you will see how to create custom insert drills in Mastercam. We will utilize geometry from an insert drill assembly to create a new custom insert drill.
