Title: Mastercam 10 Machine Definition for Taig CNC Mill
Post by: mattford1 on December 07, 2006, 08:12:10 PM

Hi there.  Forgive my ignorance on the subject (I'm new to this stuff and not sure if I'm posting in the right place), but does anyone have a machine definition file for the taig cnc mills for Mastercam 10?

Thanks!
Matt

Are you looking for a toll post, post processor? This sets your machine to accept the way your cam package writes code or vise versa.

Hi there.  Thanks for the reply!

I'm actually new to all of this and Mastercam.  What do I need to be able to select my mill in the machine type menu. 

Thanks!

Your welcome,
I think you are needing a post processor. Not sure if that is what you are asking. Lets do a search and see if we can find one. Does master cam have a folder inside of it with post processors in it? I know Benny had a calling all post processors thread on the genral discussion board.

Do you know if the artsoft group has any postprocessor info available for mastercam x? 

The fanuc 3X mill postprocessor works quite well, you should already have it in your mastercam post folder.

Cheers
