Re: Mastercam X6 post
Mastercam will have the latest Centroid post processors available. The 4axis one listed there should work with versions 9+ (X6 is actually version 16). This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEId6lzpJlw) walks you through where to put certain files for post-processor setup in Mastercam. The Mastercam manual/technical support will be able to go a lot more in depth.

Re: Mastercam X6 post
Hi,
I'm running Mastercam X5 and wanted to setup my Bridgeport as a machine. I downloaded the Ajax post files but I am unable to use them without the machine definition file. Does anyone know where to get this file? Thanks!

Re: Mastercam X6 post
Have you tried just using MPFAN?
(Do Mastercam X5 and X6 still come with a default MPFAN post?)
At most, you might need to set Parameter 2 = 2.0 in the Centroid Parameters page, to make drilling patterns work right.
Nothing else on a Centroid/Ajax control, as installed on a basic mill, requires a special post.
