hello to all,i just wanted to say that i been using mastercam for about 7 years now.took some classes in community college for mastercam x2,
and tried the cup of coffee offer, and right away i was convinced to subscribe to eapprentice about three months ago, and learned so many new tricks, that the instructer at the college didn't know about.maybe the instructer at the college should subscribe to make him a better teacher.

Can you tell me if your tutorials are set out in a logical order of learning progression, form a beginner to a professional? Also my interest is mainly to learn how to programme a CNC lathe with C and Y axis plus counter spindle. How many videos do you have that lead into that area of expertise?

Yes, the site is evolving and building constantly. Volume one takes you from geometry creation, through all of the complexities of the Mastercam interface and the level one toolpaths.

Volume 2 branches off into specialized areas, such as 3D machining, multi-axis and Lathe with live tooling

Thanks.

We don't cover Router yet, Strictly Mill, Lathe and SolidWorks at the moment, although I have to think that a lot of the Mill materials would be relevant for router users

I received my Certificate of Completion on another site, but did not receive a promotion. After becoming a member of eapprentice, I refreshed my skills and learned tips on Solid Modeling and Multi-Axis Machining. This impressed my employer and helped achieve the advancement I have been looking for.
