    Visual Mill and Tormach

    Has anyone successfully used Visual Mill with a Tormach?

    Scared to be the first :drowning:

    Yes at my last workplace. PCNC 1100. A little work editing a post processor. Worked out fine.

    Mecsoft told me that I would have to upgrade to Visualmill 2015 in order to get the Pathpilot post. This I have reluctantly done as I have not the knowledge to edit a post. The Mach3 post is not suitable for Pathpilot. Believe me!

    I have now upgraded to Visualmill 2015 with PathPilot post.

    Here is the first few lines of code from new post. Note that this is a metric post (G21) I had selected tool 6 and had the speed set 5000.
    This may help anyone who knows how to edit post processer within VM.
