Re: Post Processor

Hey CNCS I'm trying to edit my post processor to add a custom tool change position if you see the gcode I posted in my first post, lines N30 & 35 need to be in between lines N20 & 25 at least I think it does. If I add it manual it works but if I post it through Fusion it adds it after the G9...

Re: Post Processor

Well the code doesn't work for some reason I can't put it between G28 and G90. I can do it manually but that's not gonna happen any time.

Re: Post Processor

Hey Swissi,

I was putting 54 not 1 Now I feel foolish..
Shazam it works lol
My analogy was correct Fusion error with a dummy behind the wheel.

Thank you again don't know what I'd do without this forum.

Re: Post Processor

Hey CNCSNW, I do see a section in the post processor that says to write either E1 - E18 and G54 - G59 but nothing saying it would write a E54. If I use Visual Studio Code editor and run a simulated program through it, it works fine. Running it from Fusion 360 it writes it as E54 I'm leaning towards ...

Post Processor

Hey All, I have come up with another issue that's got me puzzled. When I'm posting a job and I activate the work offset in Fusion 360 it posts the program just fine except where G54 should be it posts E54. I thought that I might have messed up the post processor so I found my original and moved a co...

Re: Tool Setting on Knee mill

Thank you for helping me out I just have to stop over thinking things. If the darn thread mills weren't so expensive I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Re: Tool Setting on Knee mill

CNCSNW
So as long as I just set z reference with the reference tool again I can add tools the the library and it won't change existing tool offsets?

Muzzer
I have swissi's probe app but I don't use it for tool offsets I only use that for part offsets.

Tool Setting on Knee mill

Hey, I'm having a hard time grasping the if you break a tool just measure it against the reference tool thing. My thinking is once I've set all the tools and moved the knee my reference measurement is gone. How would I go about setting up to measure for a broken tool? I've watched the video several ...

Re: Tool setting on my Mill

G43 is called in my program, this was a manual tool change no program loaded at the time. Like I said after I zeroed my part I then in MDI called T12 for the tool then did a G0Z0 just checking myself on tool measurement. Tool moved too far into the piece of stock good thing I was off to the side of ...
