The Lathe Stock Wizard
Introduction
When creating Turning Jobs, one of the first steps is stock creation. The Lathe Stock Wizard provides an easy to use stock creation tool that handles basic cylindrical stock and custom, revolved stock geometry. This is an important part of the job setup as the stock can be used to define the clearance values.
The
Stock Specification handles assigning a coordinate system to define where
the stock is created, and the stock size handles the diameter, inside
diameter, and length. After creating the stock for the job, you
can click
next
to go directly to the Machine Setup dialog box to define the machining
origin and clearance plane values for the job.
