Did you get your tool change to work in artcam?  I also see the m6 "commented out"   how do you change it?  or could you post your postprocesor as  txt.

thanks

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / bugs in thread milling wizard help

« on: May 21, 2007, 08:23:52 PM »

when i view the tool path for the external thread it looks fine but when i run it. it makes the tool guage into the material inthe begining of the cut and then works normal from there the aproach radius seems to be off

 also the internal thread moves up and then way over to the right then back it keeps putting in a line that shouldnt be there

example
cutter dia 1.78
mag/minor 2.
pitch 20.
rapid ht .7
depth 1.
inside cut
r/h
ccw
