So, been having fun editing my own posts. I've got a couple machines that I have been modifying the posts for, and as simple as it may sound, I've gotten stuck on 2 items. Item one is: How do I always have it default to 100 IPM plunge rate in the Z? I will never plunge right into material, so I would like to have one less thing to think about in my post. Is this something that I would look for in the Control/Machine Definition, or is it in the post processor?
Item number 2 is the coolant. M08 is posted out for T1 (or first tool of the file, but never again for any subsequent tool. However, M09 appears at the end of every tool. Also, I want to try to get my M09 on my last Z rapid out move of the tool.
eg;
G0 Z.25 M9
G49 G53 Z0 M19
M01
If you could direct me to the approximate locations in the post, or otherwise, that would be awesome. I could uplad the file and beg someone very nice to edit it for me, but then I would learn nothing, right?
Oh, and yes, I've been leeping a running backup of a good working post before I go chopping mine up.
Oh, and I'm running X4
