Hi all, just wondering if a post exists for Fusion 360 that puts out M4 ? Current post is M3 so I manually edit for a front Tool post set up.

Re: Fusion Lathe Post
Hello...
Generally when programming in the Fusion 360 Turning module, the tools are loaded 'Upside Down" into the turret when setting up your lathe ....See attachment
Are you using a turret lathe ? If you set up your tooling in this manor then the "M3" output code will work fine.... Looking down the Z axis into the chuck the spindle will rotate "Counter-Clockwise" when the tooling is upside down in the turret... This is pretty standard for turret style lathes...
Switching the output from M3 to M4 in the post is generally an easy enough change to do .... If you can send me your .cps post file i can have a look at it to see if i could make the change for you....
I have done lots of jobs in Fusion 360 on both my mill and Live Tooling Lathe at my work place .... What a wonderful module Fusion has made to program these machines....
Let me know what you think...
