Didn't mean to come across as "Please write a Centroid PP for me" but could someone please point me at an existing one that is the closest generic one?Quote:

I would use the MACH3 post as a good starting point, you may find it works without alteration.
The only thing that I did notice is that the Centroid doesn't support G81 Drilling cycle so you will need to use G83 - Deep/Peck drill.
If you have a G code program that you know works, send it to me and I can make any changes required to the MACH post to make one for the Centroid.

That's fantastic news Andre; thanks so much. You are great as always! :cheers:
DickeyBird,
I was doing the same thing looking for a post processor for Centroid and as andre pointed out the drill cycle is handled different in Centroid than Fanuc. However I did select peck drilling and it misses the first hole, see my post on Acorn site. Anyway I am sure someone has figured this out on the zone.
