Machining Either Side of Spindle

Edgecam allows you to machine on either side of the spindle centerline on a single turret lathe.

You may be working with a single turret machine that has the ability to machine on both sides of the spindle centerline. Edgecam creates turn features on either side of the component that can be selected to machine.

When selecting a Turning Tool, Edgecam offers a Centerline Side option on the General tab of the toolchange dialog.

*Note: These options are made available in Edgecam 2010 R1.  Adaptive post processors are required.
