You'll get there. I'm very interested to hear how you make out with Fusion. I think a super helpful guy named Ron just spotted my issue. I was calling the wrong offsets for each tool (or using the wrong table of offsets). Not used to having offset tables setup since I have an ER16 mill and use a pr...

Thank you so much Ron. I apologize for posting the wrong report and confusing matters more (especially for myself).



Deleted original post, as I screwed up and posted an old report. Sorry.

Here is a lot more info on the stuff I've found with this post file. I started a new thread, as originally I thought it was my CNC12 setup. Now I think it's either the post file or a setting I have wrong in Fusion CAM.

Well, lathe and turret are working great. But I wanted my first part to be my own design (plus I'd have to modify the pawn program anyway since I have a turret with tool numbers and such setup differently. Figured a quick Fusion 360 CAD and CAM output, I'd be good to go.....sigh.... :cry: . That isn...

Ok, so I just created a simple program in Intercon to do a center drill op, figured that would be a quick and simple way to see if the values were accurate and it was spot on. So guess my machine is setup correct and it must be the post file. Weird part is I see that Franco is using the post file he...

I've read numerous posts on the subject of the X not moving correctly and guess I still just don't understand. The CNC12 software is setup in diameter mode. All the wizard setup was done per the videos for Acorn (all setup in MCS so 1mm=1mm on the final setup for X and Z). And when I change to WCS, ...

Oh yeah, noticed when I tried to post with mist turned on, the post processor would not run (well, it ran, just didn't create proper gcode).

Edit, for some reason it was because I had mist turned on. Using mist causes an error on the post running properly.

Appreciate your work on the post file. I want to test it out, but I'm setup for diameter mode in CNC12 and I can't find any way to change Fusion 360 from radius to diameter mode? I've read all the google articles I can find, but nothing really seems to show that it can be done. So to use Fusion 360 ...
