    Post Processor for Mach 3

    I installed the Fanuc Post Processor form PowerMill. It seems to generate codes OK., but i get a funny move upon startup after a G43 Code and the spindle gets lost on the X and Y axes on a tool change. Am I using the wrong post? Here are the relevant Sections from the code. Look at N 320 and N37340:

    FIRST PROBLEM (at program start)
    N210 ( STRATEGY USED : Offset_area_clear )

    N250 ( TOOL NAME : 1 )
    N260 ( TOOL DIA.: 0.1875 & TIP RAD.: 0 & LENGTH : 0.9375 )
    N270 T1 M6
    N280 G54 G90
    N290 S4000 M3
    N300 M8
    N310 G0 X-.0009 Y-.2066
    N320 G43 Z.4375 H1
    N330 X-.0484 Y-.2132
    N340 Z-.1825
    N350 G1 Z-.405F2
    N360 X-.0465 Y-.2257F4
