I know for sure. I use all sorts of CAM programs, so I noticed it by reading  the generated gcode (did that after the crashed tool )  It's wrong in the post processor code

Code: [Select]

@start_tool
if only_xyz eq false
    if tool_direction eq CW then
        mcode = 4
    else              ;  CCW
        mcode = 3
    endif

    call @gen_nb
    {'S'spin:integer_def_f, ' M'mcode}
    call @gen_nb
    {'M8'}
endif
endp
You see, it sais CW mcode=4 and CCW mcode=3. I editted it, now everything is fine.

spindle direction is inverted (M3 = Clockwise, M4 = Counter clockwise) So when you chose the option CW in SolidCam, your spindle will turn in the wrong direction
It is easy to fix withe a texteditor, like notepad. Maybe it's fixed already (?)

IMPORTANT! I just started with SolidCAM and found out that the M3 and M4 have been switched around in this post processor! already broke a tool because of this.
