Comprehensive turning solutions
From accepting and programming any CAD file to Dynamic Motion roughing and precision finishing, Mastercam 2022 can turn parts exactly as needed. New features include:
Options for turning– Users can create collections of adapters, extensions, and holders, and store them as an assembly, saving time and avoiding errors by creating reusable assemblies of modular components. Assemblies can be stored in a library and used to create full 3D Lathe Tool assemblies.
Extended support for mill-turn– Steady rest support for mill-turn allows precise positioning and simulates steady rests throughout the machining process, enhancing part support in turning, milling, and part-handling operations. This includes new component types, enhanced component libraries, dedicated operations for each type of steady rest, part handling strategies, and simulation features.
Swiss machining solutions– Benefitting from improvements and updates to Mastercam Lathe, expanded options and more efficient programming are combined with Mastercam Mill to provide fast, easy Swiss programming.

The Tendo Platinum V2 hydraulic toolholder is a culmination of more than 40 years of ongoing research and development in hydraulic toolholder technology. Featuring an ergonomic slim outer profile for easy and comfortable actuation, the toolholder is designed for direct clamping of the tool. Imbalance correction goes unnoticed and is carefully designed into the body profile. Constructed of durable, hardened tool steel, the Tendo Platinum V2 improves stability, stiffness, and clamping force, delivering longer sustained accuracy throughout its life.
