General Mach Discussion / Using my Mill to Turn.
« on: February 15, 2018, 05:09:04 PM »
Hi everyone, this is a very popular forum, I am brand new here.
So here is what I am have and what I am doing. I am fairly new to Mach3 but am learning. I have a licensed version of Mach 3. I have a SYIL X5 Pro milling machine running Mach 3 Mill. I use Fusion 360 for my CAD/CAM.
What I want to do is turn a piece using the spindle, and a tool mounted to the bed. Whenever I go to produce the G-Code through Fusion I get a warning and an error. My guess is that there is something not set up correctly within the post process. My question is, can I approach this some other way, say directly through Mach3. The part I want to turn is fairly complex, its actually a wooden goose call.
Any hints on this?
