Hi all, I am using Partmaster V8 and post processor M_mach3.ppr. In the post processor, it says "modified by Steve Blackmore 06/03/04" I took it from the files...
... Hi Nigel Is that with a registered version of Mach3? If not there is a 1000 line limit to the file size you can run. There shouldn't be a problem with the...
For a simple contour shape the CAD system will produce a NC code file with a .pun extension. If the contour is transferred to the milling CAM module and the NC...
... No difference. The extension is needed by some controllers to run, they will only accept certain extensions. However Mach3 will accept any extensions. If...
I have partmaster (fully paid up Mach only version, mill & lathe) on one PC and Mach on a totally seperate machine. Does Partmaster interface with Mach to see...
Nigel There is no check between PartMaster and Mach regarding license. The areas you should look at are :- 1) Field Width - Within the post processor...
... Nigel, Go back to the files section and there are two files marked "Modified to go to 6 digit line no's" Try these and let us know. John S. This e-mail was...
Having a drawn machined part with its contour, it can be successfully transferred to milling module and the NC code produced and tests out OK. Now I need to...

I am doing a part on a home hobby machine which means manual tool changes. The part has a number of tool changes. If I want to program the work start to finish...
... Main question is what type of toolholding are you using? Can you setup all tools in holder prior to program start or do you have to fit each one indivually...
I have to fit each tool individualy into an ordinary Collet chuck for the milling operations and then change to an ordinary drill chuck for the drilling...
Michael, Another question from me I'm afraid. In the "machine set up" window and "extra info tab" in the CAM software I placed some background notes. This data...
... Open the post up and find the line ... Alter to ... Then anything in the extra info box will be brackets. John S, This e-mail was scanned for viruses using...
The Mach3 post-processor is setup so that "comments" added to the NC program are assumed to contain valid NC code. If you want them to remain as comments, you...
Thanks both for the response. I also found out by experimentation (coo that's a long word for late in the afternoon)that just putting the brackets in the text...
Alan The best way to do this is to get The post processor to output a Machine Stop (M00) at each tool change. After changing the tool and resetting The Z axis...
Alan You can include the '(' in the extra information text Or if you want to send me a copy of the post you are Using I can modify it to automatically place...
... First off in mach3 go into Config > Logic and select Stop Spindle, wait for cycle start. Click Ok then save the setup. Now what will happen is that at the...
