Seeing that you already have a copy of BobCAD CAM V24, there really is not need to purchase other software.  You'll find that making changes to the post is easy enough to do yourself, but if you would like me to help I can.

Yes I would turn subs off, and yes the post processor can be setup to fire any m code you want at the start of cutting and at the end of cutting.  If you want to use a dwell you can do that aswell.

I didn't get a call or response so I guess you are up and running?   If there is anything I can help with please let me know.

it seems that you do not have the post processor loaded in your cam system. I faced this before and being supported by bob cad cam.com they helped me to set the post processor in my bob cam where every thing works well
