General Mach Discussion / using boring bar in Machturn

« on: February 08, 2008, 04:08:54 PM »

How do I setup a boring bar?  I have a QCTP and would like to do some internal countouring on a few parts. Do I just set it up as additional tool in the tool table? What things do I need to watch to make it work?

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 lathe post for Bob-Cad v22

« on: January 25, 2008, 04:48:14 PM »

Is there anybody out there in the whole world using a post processor in Bob_Cad lathe v22? I have downloaded the mach 3 lathe post from Bobcad but it doesn't generate useable g code. I thought I would ask here if anybody out there is running this software and if they have either had a post written or come across one that works. The only cutting I have done in mach 3 is using the wizards, they work, I just wish I could use my drawings in Bob- Cad to generate some usable code. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
