Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 5)

YEs that's right. The spindle starts first when the tapping reaches the bottom, that's why the P word is so important for those like me that have just regular motors that cannot simply start/stop immediately. That 0.5s is just what the TC head needs to relief the tension and came out nicely.

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 5)

Why make a simple thing so complicated messing with M codes and stuff? Add a P word on the G84 cycle and it's done. I use it since I put my CNCs together with the tormach tension compression chucks and it works flawlessly. Of course it's not the ideal (rigid tapping is) but It works. Why? Because s...

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 5)

The fact that the machine stops in Z while the spindle is still at full speed or starts in Z before the spindle has started moving can't be fixed by simply pausing at the bottom of the hole. Think about it and perhaps read the thread a little more carefully, then let us know if you still don't get ...

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 5)

Also I would like to see the dwell on tapping cycles. I do modify the post myself but would be nice to have it by default the tapping code would be like this: getCommonCycle(x, y, z, cycle.retract),"P" + secFormat.format(P), feedOutput.format(F) instead of this getCommonCycle(x, y, z, cycl...

Yes I do but only on demand. usually I don't have knives ready to ship. The wait list is now 3 to 4 months.
