Rating:  Summary: Mastercam Lite Review: I've used the training manuals that came with the software and I am still trying to figure out what this book is offering for the price. I could not find a clear explaination on how to even lay down a line or even edit geometry and toolpaths when routine design changes occur. I felt very limited reading this text. I found errors in the text. The kind of key productivity methods used by real mastercam operators using the software are missing. If I were having a meal this book would be a lite snack.
Rating:  Summary: Am I funny or something... Review: On march second 2004, I gave an assignment to my students to review my Mastercam book. 8 of them aggreed to rate the book with 5 stars. They will be getting A's on their finals. Please: if you can rate me with 5 stars do so. Leave me your address and I will mail you a free, worseless book written by me. (I will only charge you $59.99 for shipping and handling).
Rating:  Summary: Too blend Review: This book is too blend and too boring. Not well written and poor illustrated. I think the author should not write anymore books. Thank you.
Rating:  Summary: AN EXPERIENCED MASTERCAM PROGRAMMER Review: This book presents a glossover of what is needed to learn the basics of Mastercam. The approach is to simplify by building all the examples and discussions around one part. Stray from that part and you are in trouble. Missing are sufficient details concerning programming in metric, generating CAD geometry in 2D, 3D, Surface modelling, chaining 2D toolpaths, editing 2d toolpaths, creating tools, point sorting for drilling, types of pocketing toolpaths, editing machining operatings, rotating,translating and mirroring toolpaths and an index etc, etc....
Rating:  Summary: Good book! Review: This book was a great step by step tutorial to learn Mastercam. I highly recommend it. It helped me through the large vertical learning curve I had during class-especially being from Wyoming where I am slower than average.
Rating:  Summary: master man Review: This book was so helpfull for everything in this book the book helped out with such a pain in the but program to learn. I think mastercam is out of date but the book help me get through it with out to much troubles.
Rating:  Summary: This booklet is missing the target Review: This booklet misses a lot of the knowledge required to effectively use Mastercam V9. Also, there are many blatant errors, not only in grammer, spelling, and graphic examples, but especially in the learning examples. A lot of your time will be wasted trying to follow the books instructions for they are inaccurate. Best to look for a better book, one with some intelligence behind it, to come along. It is evident that this booklet was written by an inexperienced authors, and was not proof-read or checked for accuracy.
Rating:  Summary: caramba Review: What do you get when an unsuccessful Catia programmer, an automechanic and a carpenter desire to write a book on how to use Mastercam? A a caricature not a book. Advice to the authors: rotate tires, install sheetrock, clean snow, anything but write books. You can be usefull to the society.
