Dolphin CAD/CAM post processor

Post by n2xd »

Is there anyone using Dolphin CAD/CAM for Acorn milling? If so could you point me to a working Post Processor. Thanks.

John,
This is one I wrote for my Bridgeport. Dolphin support is pretty much non-existent now. This is what I use for version 14 (most current version). the PP that is provided for Centroid is for some kind of manual VMC abortion. Use this at your own risk. verify it does what you want it to, before relying on it.
This works for ME!. YMMV! replace the .doc extension with .ppr and add it to your pp folder.
