Thought I had this fixed. I'm modifying the Generic Fanuc 5X Mill post, ( using X4, MU3) for our HAAS VF-4, with a Tsudakoma\ TN-160 mounted on it. B tilt's in -X(0-90) & A rotates (360). Tweeking...

This is NOT super important, but just to see if it can be done. I have attached (3), text files with a sample Planar Mill Operation. If I make it Modal in Post Builder , of course, get one "D"...

Not to hi-jack this thread, but Steve you say, "and the curved entity that the tool is following should not be a spline ( these nearly always give point to point code )" how does one convert a spline...

That's the trick !! You got me thinking when I was at home this morning about what you posted earlier, & now that I'm at work & opened it up & did what you just posted, code is correct. Many...

I"m not sure this structure is correct. Never have fully understood the correct way to do this. I have noticed, that when I change my MCS, to the correct axis I need for our Robocut wire, it revert's...

I have a 4 axis wire edm post that I made with PostBuilder and have been using it for over a year now. It has one problem. No matter what the MCS is set to, the program is always generated based on...

Sorry. Should have been more specific. myigetit.com is the service I am refering about. Of course I have had a lot of problems solved here on this site, (cnc zone). Might take a couple of days for...

Have been a user of this service for over 2 year's now, & still use it when I have a problem at night when no programmer's are around. Don't use it as much, but still depend on it. Good stuff.

All your time greatly appreciated. One last question. After you get one tool path, what would be the most efficient way to do the 7 other groove's ? Transform the tool path's & re select the geometry...

That is tool path I used to get tool to follow the path of the groove. The other's you mentioned,surface area or streamline , produced weird result's, due to the lack of my understanding how to use...
