    Machine definition/Post processor for HAAS VF2ss

    Hello all!

    I'm looking for a proper post processor and some machine definition for our two HAAS mills. If someone would kindly send me this, or tell me where to find it!

    I am using SprutCAM 10 by the way! And the mach3/Fanuc is not optimal in my opinion.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Try putting a post on the sprutcam forum. Dave can probably help you.

    My Internet security software has been giving me security warnings about the UK SprutCAM forum for months now. Can anyone else here access it?

    Well, at least it's not just me then. I've tried emailing either the SprutUK site that hosts it or Sprut themselves (maybe both) with no reply so maybe this is the only SprutCAM forum on the net.

    I need the same thing. The Fanuc30i that you can download won't work. I'm getting a lot of IJ errors on HSM paths. Also had to edit the post to add trailing decimals to feedrates

    I hadn't tried to get on for a while, but it does seem to be down now. I couldn't get on for a few days about 2 months ago, but other than that and right now, for me, it has been up.

    I know this is a long shot, but the postprocessor generator allows you to make changes to the logic for individual commands, i.e. for the feed cldata command examine the code and modify it to add the trailing decimals. I have spent a little time reading the manual for the PP generator, thankfully for me the Tormach PP works.

    I believe that someone posted a YouTube video on editing SprutCAM post-processors. Might have Dave's UK Sprut site's channel.

    Odd, I can get on to it with Safari and IE on my computers, and Chrome on my wife's computers. Are you on a work computer with some overreaching firewall?

    The link I use

    forums.sprutcam.com

    if I type in

    forum.sprutcam.com

    it won't work. Make sure to type the "s"

    Norton IS is throwing the error on my home PC and I am using the "forums" prefix. This is the same link that work for years until a few months ago. Norton claims that it found 2 viruses and that the site is located in Germany.

    On edit: I tried contacting the Sprut UK guy about the problem a few months ago but never heard back.
