    Mastercam X8 and Tormach Path Pilot

    I just got a pcnc 1100 with path pilot and I'm using Mastercam X8. I downloaded the Post processor from Tormach website and it does not seem to be compatible as it is a X7 version. The site claims this is the latest version. When installed tormach is not in the list for mills.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    In Mastercam you can use the migration wizard and it will convert existing files - including posts, tools, etc..

    Path Pilot is LinuxCNC with some lipstick on it. I don't use MasterCam, but for HSMXpress, I pick the EMC post processor and it works for me. Maybe Master Cam has a LinuxCNC or EMC post processor and use that.

    Oh, EMC was the previous name of LinuxCNC until the large software company EMC forced a name change...

    Hope that helps, good luck. Mark

    for the most part you can use the standard 3 axis fanuc post and it'll work. I honestly didn't even know tormach released a mastercam post, so I edited mpmaster to make my own tormach post.
