Face Toolpaths
Use a facing toolpath to quickly clean the stock from the top of a part, qualify the top of the part, and create an even surface for future operations. You can base the toolpath on either chained geometry or on the current stock model.

When facing the stock, it is important to have the tool overlap the edges of the part by at least 50% of its diameter to prevent leaving little scallops of material at the edges of the stock. Mastercam provides additional options for zigzag and one way cutting methods to minimize burring or chipping on the final pass along the opposing edge of the face.

To begin creating a face toolpath, choose Face from the selected machine's Toolpaths contextual tab.

Use the Chaining dialog box to select the part geometry, or simply choose OK without selecting anything to use the stock model from the machine group properties. Use the properties pages in the toolpath dialog box to enter the toolpath parameters and complete the toolpath.

To face islands, consider using Mastercam's pocket toolpaths, which include an automatic island facing feature. You can also face islands using Mastercam's 2D high speed toolpaths (excluding Peel Mill, Blend Mill and Dynamic Contour).
