Re: Lathe Work/CNC12 and Post Processing

CNC12 runs on G code not cad data so yes if you are using a cad/cam system you will need a post processor. i would suggest start with Intercon. to get the basics down. then you can move onto the cad/cam and post processor world can your parts be made using Intercon? https://youtu.be/rEY3uKOuPZQ?si=q...
