    Surfcam post processor

    I run a mid 90's Okuma Crown lathe with an OSP700L control. It lacks the IGF package from Okuma. I was running it off of the IGF in another machine, an LB25. I recently aquired Surfcam 4, the problem is that the post processor that came with the software is pretty generic and I'm having trouble with some of the threading/drilling cycles. The G and M code is almost right, but the machine alarms out when reading those canned cycles. I made some basic changes to the post to make it do what I want (IE home the machine before the next turret index, things of that nature) but my knowledge in that area is limited. If anyone has or knows where I can find a good Surfcam post for that control that's already "ironed out" it would be greatly appreciated.
