Fusion of whatever CAM you are using, will request a peck drill with full retract, ie a G82, because it is a standard G code operation, and you expect a post to make that combined
cycle out of a string of finer commands? This post is written by whom? Do you have access to the source code to edit or otherwise craft it? Do you have the software skills to write your own post?
I am OK with software but not at that level. Aside from anything else I want to make parts with my CNC machine....I do not want to invest hundreds of hours composing software for it.
When I need a part I draw it in Fusion, then generate a toolpath, again using Fusion, simulate it, then run the code on the machine to make the part. There is no time allowance for writing or tweaking
software to get decent Gcode.
