    Here you go: https://github.com/teodoryantcheff/SolidCam-Mach3-Post

    Only thing I did not manage to solve yet is how to do multiple operations in one gcode file. The @start_of_job section is somehow ignored for the 2nd operation. No issue if you do not change tools or spindle speed or cooling....

    if you read the GPPTool documentation, you might be able to understand how the post processor works. Most of the posts that come with solidcam have variables that can be set or changed to make the processor do what you want. I was able to modify the gMilling_3x post processor and it does a wonderful job with my machine and mach3. better than the posts that i found floating around online.

    Would it be possible to get a copy of the gMilling 3x post processor you modified? I opened the original gMill 3x gpp file and was frankly baffled.
