I realise its being a long long while and I'm still getting this lathe together, but progress has taken me all the way to the cam stage. I am playing around with Mastercam, tried using the post-processors that are designed for Mach but they just have to many errors in them. I used then the generic Faunc post and its so much better but, I cannot get it to work, wow a what contradiction in terms there, better but does not work?
Ok I will elaborate a little the two main problems I encounter with the Faunc code is it is in diameter mode? its cutting double the size it should, and I keep getting an error on line 46? I have tried everything but still can not get it to work, very frustrating indeed!
The part is simply a piece of 30mm dia Nylon with a 21mm dia (X) x 10mm (Z) cut out out and a 1/2"BSP thread 10mm long.
If someone can check the code and tell me where it is going wrong it would be great. Error one is the G54.1 needs to be removed first on two linesN150 and N430 which I have already done.
Thanks
