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.
