Jonathan I'm using Mastercam to post. Since I stink at drawing in Mastercam I draw up the part in Emachineshop then export as a DXF. Import to Mastercam to create the tool paths.

As for the batching each sink requires 4 tool changes. I had around 50 pieces to do and said there was no way I was manually performing 200 tool changes

The soft jaws where pruchased on Ebay from Monster Jaws. under $9 a SET!!!! There fully machined on all 6 sides!
