Re: I Need a Post Processor for Solidworks/Camworks

I use the FANUC 11M post processor, it comes nativity with SolidWorks CAM (A least with SolidWorks 2019). The post processor can't be edited but for the most part it works fine with my Centroid Acorn mill.

I added a T0 to my ...

Also try to use natural binary numbers, 512, 1024, 2048 etc. I am using a gear number of 2048 (8192 ppr) on ball screws, on a rack and pinion use as high a gear ...
