With a standard Mach2/3 config and the Basic GCode or the Mach2 post processor you should have no problem. I use Mach3 regularly and the M6 TXX style...

I just finished building a cnc router, it is working well, I used Mach3 to control it and I am looking at meshcam to help me go from photo to wood carvings. Is...
Hello all, I am just getting the machine to work and unfortunately am running into the same problem over and over. I have tried this with several files and...
I think you may want to post this in the MaxNC group as well. I know there are a few MaxNC users around here but the other group may be better. -Robert...
Peter, First off I have never even been close to a maxnc15cl so please take these comments with that in mind. 1. Are you setting the 0,0,0 position in your...
Hi! It looks like the Stock to Leave does not work on vertical surfaces pararel to X when I cut along X or pararel to Y when I cut along Y, and I got roughing...
The "Stock to Leave" simply raises the cutter above the worksurface the amount that you enter. It won't help you on a totally vertical wall. I'd recommend that...
I believe that the V2 work in progress does offset a vertical wall as well. Internally, it does exactly what Trent describes- it just increases the cutter...
Is there any way to generate line numbers when using meshcam. I have made g-code files with several thousand lines. It is almost impossible to edit the...
... Well, you woke me up with that, Robert! :-) For a minute I thought you were talking about the finishing pass... I have been doing "semi-finishing" passes...
In the next big toolpath update I'm going to add more flexibility to the whole process. I'll leave the current one for users who like it and add some type of...

Hi Peter, Another way around this is to cut and paste the nc program text into the second column of your spreadsheet, enter the first number in cell A1 e.g. N1...
I have been using "Code Shark Lite" ($19.97) for renumbering files after cut-n-paste toolpath refining. The line numbering option both removes and places line...
Andrew, Way TOO much work when using MeshCam !!! Modifying the post is much easier, and a one shot job. The post is really well documented and well worth...
Gerry, Call me either 'Very Trusting' , Very Lazy' or a just a common fool, but usually I'll just glance at the MeshCam (beta v2) rendition of the tool path to...
You'll need something like CutViewer for that. ... Thanks Gerry! Other alternatives than Cutviewer, they all seem to cost too much for a garage user....
Put me in the "Have all the faith in the world in Robert" camp. No CutViewer here!! Gerry ... the tool ... wouldn't ... over a ... were ... at least ... the...
