    Need someone to edit generic MPFAN 9

    I am ready to give up on my edditing attemps , if only for the time being. I am ready to pay to have the posted results appear "similar" to the sample below. It will be used by a Fanuc 11M without an automatic tool changer. I can supply more details when needed.

    Post a copy of your .pst file.
    I will be happy to give it a try.

    Well,
    This is the best I can do without a copy of the MC9 file you used to create the toolpath.

    I could not quite figure out how you got MasterCam to generate the toolpath for the 1/2 endmill.

    There are a few minor inconsistencies in your code example that cannot be done in a .pst file.
    Like Q and R not in the same order.
    You get one or the other.

    Please be VERY careful with the posted code until you are sure it works for you.
    I will NOT be held responsible.

    If you need other changes please feel free to ask.

    From a PM

    The MPFAN 9 post that you edited for me seems to work fine. I haven’t had time to test it to the 3rd deg. but it looks promising.

    In my request for help I offered to pay for help. Your help was valuable to me and I want to pass on my good fortune. If you would like a check that will be fine with me. If you are well off and don't need the cash, I could make a charitable donation in your name, and send you a tax-deductible receipt. ADRA is one of my favorite charities. Just let me know what suites you best.
    Thanks Again,
    Perry L *Last name removed*
    Thank you for your kind words.
    No payment is necessary.
    I do this for free because I have spent a LOT of time and a LOT of money learning what I know.
    I do not want to see anyone going through what I went through to figure this stuff out.
    My "payment" is in helping others and seeing the spark of understanding when they comprehend what I am trying to teach them.
    Knowledge is power.
    You can "pay" me by passing on your knowledge to someone else.
    Like the movie title from a few years ago, "Pay It Forward"
