Hi Graham my name is Henry. I've read your post and downloaded the post for alphacamm, the problem I'm having is that the code stops running when it gets to a radius, of any size, then I have to reset and run for it to continue only for it to stop on the next bit of code with a radius(or beginning of diameter). Is there a way around this problem. I would appreciate help with this issue as I am about to purchase a complete retrofit kit but I need to know whether this could be resolved. cheers

Hi Henry,

post the code you are trying to run and attach the AlphaCAM file so I can see where your problem originates.

Hi Graham, Ive sent the code for a square pocket with radii in the corners. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Graham, Henry again. My apologies, I did not mention that this was a demo version that I was using and maybe that is why its not working

Hello dear friends,
I am just new here. your forum is very good and useful.
I have a problem with Mach 3 & AlphaCAM 2013. I hope you could help me. I have downloaded your Mach 3 post processor but unfortunately my Milling Machine does not support it. I have a 2.5 axis CNC milling and I use ArtCAM for my modeling and G-Coding. In ArtCAM I  use Mach 2 mm.cnc post processor. But I can find anything like this for AlphaCAM. Can you help me?

Hello,

Your machine or software supplier is actually the one to ask help for your specific Post Processor to be compatible with Mach 3.
