I just ran a small program with 2 tool changes, and at the end of the program for some reason my post processor always inputs a g-28 code.I finished off the...
Hello Dan, The G28 is used on Fanuc type controllers to "Home" the machine at tool changes and at the end of the program. If you want to ged rid of it open CAM...
Thanks Andre; Is this something I'll have to do everytime I post process a part ? I'm not near my computer with my Dolphin program to try it. I want to...
Once changed and saved this should be it. However a G28 should not cause this if you are cancelling your tool offset G49, before the G28. What post processor...
Sign of a demented mind, replying to ones own post, or is that fermented ? <g> This is what a typical finish expression looks like:- ... #N (M30_) EOB "%" EOB...
Thanks John; I'm using Mach3. I have been slowly working the small issues out of the PPR file, but what happened today was new, and a bit concerning. I will...
... There should be NO issues in the PPR file, but it would seem a bad versions of Mach post processors have been issued with Partmaster. There should be no...
That's the whole idea of having an editable post processor file in that no two people work the same way. Steve's file that he's posted in the files section...
Thanks guys !! I definitely do not want to change my PPR !! I have been slowly masaging this thing to suit my machine, and I'm very very happy with the way...
... No need - M30 does it, default values in Config/general are Turn off all outputs Remove tool offset Radius comp off Turn off spindle Steve Blackmore --...
I've had this program for a while, and I'm embarrased to ask such a simple question, but up to now I've only been doing simple contours and engraving. I have...
Anyone?? I have just finished looking at all the videos (again), but nowhere does it show how to make the contours when edges are shared.I'm really stuck here...
You can use the same edge in another contour. When you select the contour command for your second contour and designate the start point you will get an arrowed...
Well I must be real stupid , or I'm totally missing something !! I uploaded a couple of sample files yesterday to show what I'm having problems with. I have no...
I have put a file up on the contours for you. It is just the drawing file to open in CAD. The contours are all on the base layer. open up the CAM program from...
Alan; Thanks for taking the time to help !! The drawing you posted is exactly what I've been unable to achieve. I see how you have the 2 different contours,...
The "NC Contour" button is the right one to use. It should give a message at the bottom of the screen saying it is used for exporting a contour to CAM. If you...
Allan; Here's what I'm doing step by step; -I draw the block in Cad -I click on the large "NC" button on the top of my screen -I then chose the "NC contour"...
Have you checked your CAD drawing? The file you posted will not draw the second contour as the vertical line forming the smaller rectangle is not connected to...
Hmmm! I find it odd that they would not be connected !! When I made the drawing, I used 90 degree, and 0 degree lines then clipped the excess. I will try again...
This is absolutely insane !!! What the hell am I doing wrong ??? Is Michael still surfing this forum. He helped before with a small video he made for me .I...

I would greatly appreciate that Michael. You're about 5-6 hours ahead of me, and I get home about 3 PM est on weekdays. Let me know a convenient time that we...
Michael; I think I figured out why I was having so much trouble. I tried using the "split items" function, and it let me do what I wanted. Thanks for the help...
Dan Ok just let me know. By the way were you aware that the Goround command had the option for machining part of a element within a contour. (Options tab in...
Hi Michael, I finally had a chance to go thru the video. Thanks. It does help a lot, but it still doesn't explain what the parameters in the 4th axis popup...
Wade I'll give it a try :- 1) The standard Cartesian coordinate system defines that The 'A' axis rotates around the X axis. The 'B' axis rotates around...
