General Mach Discussion / Re: How do I remove this out of the gcode

Hi, David

It's a modified .pst for LCam, It is just below the picture 2 posts back, Put it into c:\Mach3 folder , Then in LCam click on Post Code button, Then click on Set Post Processor Button, Find the "Mill Example 08 25 08 new A.pst" and select it.

Now it will be used for your post's in LCam and it will generate the G-code I posted.

Hi, Davy

Try this post below, It has one Issue, It doesn't like final pass less than a Full "Pass Depth" in Tool setings, Sometimes, See Pic.

It needs to be in your C:\Mach3 Folder to set it in Lazyam.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, CHUFF

This will answer at least 5 questions you haven't asked, But, You've stated that LazyCam is Use-Less, You need to set it up some.

Offset's in your Cad for cutter offset's, Maybe ?

G-Code will answer Questions without them being asked sometimes, Also !!

Thanks, Chip

PS: Sam, Nicely Stated !!

Hi, CHUFF

My last post wasn't intended to be anything specfic, Just a couple of examples for you.

Hears a 22.5 cir use a 1/4 inch cutter the depth is set to Z-0.6, You may want to change the F10 speed's (cut) to a higher speed.

Jog to the center of your cir, Zero axises to just above work surface, Ctr. hole will be cut first.

This is hand written G-code, Should do what you wanted.

Hears a LazyCam, G-code file also.

Learning, Mach, Cad, Cam and G-code, Takes Some Time.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, CHUFF

None of this Stuff is Plug and Play, Whether you've spent 500.00 or 500,000.00.

There is a File Save as "DXF" in BobCad, To start with.
 
You've got a total of 9 post now, There isn't enough rope in the World at this Rate.

Take a break, Calm down, Re-Group a little and we'll try to help.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, CHUFF

I'm using ver 22 hear, What ver of BoBCad are you using.?

LazyCam should post your DXF, Theres a section hear for LC questions.  http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/board,14.0.html

Post your DXF there with questions.
