General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 G-code compatibility
« on: April 30, 2020, 12:16:31 PM »
Hi All;
I am new here so please forgive me if this not the correct place to post this.

I have modified my mini-mill by adding stepper motors and inductive limit switches to the mill.  Works very well with Mach 3 at the helm.  I have milled many parts but sometimes have problems with very fine engraving jobs where objects are out of alignment.

I am using BobCad to design my parts and generate the g-code output.  BobCad can generate g-code for many makes of machines.  Through trial and error I managed to find a Fanuc post processor that is somewhat compatible to Mach 3.  I managed to edit the Fanuc post processor to make it more compatible but still occasionally come across some code problems.

My question here is what flavor of g-code does Mach 3 except, Fanuc, Samsung, Hitachi...?  What co-processor would work best?

Thanks.
