Troubleshooting

1. Open the Windows System Tray:

   • You can find the System tray at the bottom-right side of the Windows Taskbar.

   • You open it by clicking the small arow pointing upward (see the image to the right).

Within the System Tray

2. Right-click on the ‘Mastercam event log’ icon (tip: look for the Mastercam logo )

   • A pop-up menu is displayed (see the image to the right).

3. Select Event log.

   • The Mastercam Event Log is displayed (see below)

Within the Mastercam Event Log:

4. Right-click then select ‘Save’ (see the image to the right).

5. Use the Windows ‘Save As’ dialogue (see below) to save to your chosen location.

   • This will save the event log as a list of comma-separated values (a .csv file).

In the Mastercam’s Tool Manager, the cutting/surface speed (CS) and feed per tooth are set automatically when the spindle speed and feed rate is set.

Using the values in the screenshot to the right:

• In Tool Manager, pi = 3.14169
  CS = 1138 * 63 * 3.14169 / 1000

• In CAM Assist computations, pi = 3.14159

This is the cause of the inconsistency.
