My MACH3 postprocessor use for G02 and G03 R instead of I and K definition and I have wrong radius on that command. This happens only in Mach3 controler for my lathe (in CIMCO is OK). Also X coordinate is in - and have to be in + (this I solved in notepad with REPLACE). Can someone halp me with this?

I solved the problem. After postprocessing for turn with tool in front of piece you must replace X- with X+ and G02 with G03 and G03 with G02. After that works fine.

Hey,

I did put some effort myself into the SC mach post :

I've set up a github repo

Any feedback and comments welcome.


PS -- the backplotter used in one of the videos is the one from the free hsmexpress. Really nice program.
PS2 -- Since I don't have a licensed SW nor SC I go to a friend of mine, who works at a shop and they have "real" machines -- HAASes and so on, and he let's me play with their software. So it's a painfully slow process... :) I'm yet to build my own machine.
