General Mach Discussion / Fusion 360 & Mach3 Mill G-code and Post processors
« on: December 26, 2017, 04:48:33 PM »
Hey guys,
I've been using Fusion 360 for close to 2 years now. Just starting to get into tool paths and cam work and just delving into it head first. So i'm very new to everything involved
I recently purchased a Chinese CNC Router 6040 4 axis, 2200 water cooled spindle, limit switches, hand dial..etc...
I tried to purchase the best set up i could find and working on getting this to work is becoming a very trying task. I'm looking for a little insight if you can assist.
I'm thinking my post processor is not correct to work with the Fusion g-code generator.
It seems the command to do certain tasks is not being commanded correctly, the machine freezes.. or stops right before its should drop to the cut point. the mach3 software shows its moving but the spindle is non functional(no x,y or z movement after it reaches the start axis.. Sorry is my word usage is poor. If I do a 2d cut like circular with multiple different depth cuts its fine but if i do something like 2d pocket it seems to freeze.
I did my spoilboard with holes and counter sink just fine but this new job is not working as well but I am using different command i have not used before.
*If there a suggested post processor to use?
*If i post the g-code here can someone check it over and explain what might be wrong?
Thank you in advance
John
