    Any success with this? I use edgecam code in mach3 now with some manual editing but it would be nice to generate Mach3 code directly.

    any hints are welcome

    Can you send up some code examples? I dont know anything about the Mach2/3. If it's G-Code you should be able to use the Wizard to get it right pretty quickly.

    Hi I have this. It's a post for Mach2 and I think I will work with mach3 also. I wrote this one to a friend so I belive It is some bugs there maybe. But in the you have all the files so you can modify the post your self. I take no responsibility for problems regarding this post. Unzip the file and copy the files to the c:/programfiles/edgecam/machdef folder.

    If anyone have edgecam post for deckel I in very interested.

    I think there could be a bug that can give a strange z move in the beginning. Or maybe I have fixed that. If you find any problems tell me and I can try to fix it.

    If you could upload the edgecam file the NC code and maybe you know wich line it stopped at. Then I can fiks this I belie. I made the post for Mach2 so I belive I can modify this.

    I belive that this is a bug with arcs. But probably it only appears somethimes. Because this is not a message you get always or what?

    Mach .cgd attached

    Attached is a file that I use with Mach 3 & Edgcam 2010 R2 on my 3 axis table top Shark router.
    As with any post use this at your own risk.
    Put this in your machdef folder and compile with code wizard.
