Mastercam 2026 preserves the familiar interface of these toolpaths, with the addition of the Setup tab which lets you tailor these toolpaths to your Mill-Turn machine.
Some of the functionality normally available on the Toolpath parameters tab has been moved to the Setup tab to be consistent with the Mill-Turn workflow. This includes selecting the axis combination, rotary axis settings, and plane selection.
To access the toolpaths, right-click in the Toolpaths Manager and select Milling toolpaths:
Note that several of the toolpaths allow multiaxis output when used in Mastercam Mill. This is not allowed in Mill-Turn, so the option has been removed for Mill-Turn. If you try to import such operations into a Mill-Turn machine group, Mastercam displays a warning and will not import the operations.
