I haven't succeded in getting my Omio X8-2200L-USB to behave correctly - I need to modify G-code prior to every job. I use "CNC Router Parts (Mach3Mill)" post processor in Fusion 360 and haven't been able to find any better.

Note it is the newer USB version black control box (not the orange with EPL).

Would appreciate all input and suggestions.

If you know enough to hand edit your code into something that works, you will know what needs changing. It's a simple enough but tedious process, which pretty much just means reading through a big pile of gobbledegook until you find the bad scripts, and altering them accordingly.

What exactly is wrong with the post?

Ok. I don't have the time, knowledge and stamina to sit down and analyze the code. I'm busy trying to learn understand G-code.

From zero but it doesn't rise before going to the starting point and drags on the surface. I had a X-carve earlier and the bit did rise - using exactly the same files and CAM.

Can you send a bit of your start code?

My temporary solution is to put "G0 Z5" before "G0 X52.6 Y26.2".




(1001)
(T1 D=2. CR=0. - ZMIN=-3. - FLAT END MILL)
G90 G94 G91.1 G40 G49 G17
G21


(2D CONTOUR1)
M5
M9
T1 M6
S18000 M3
G54
M8
G0 X52.6 Y26.2
G43 Z15. H1
Z5.
G1 Z2. F333.
Z-0.8
G18 G3 X52.4 Z-1. I-0.2 K0.

Ah. You're using a different post.

Use the normal Mach3mill post.

That should work with it.

I have tried that. Then the spindle goes down instantly. Luckily I held my hand on the emergency button.

Here, I'm at work so no real time to do much.

Attached is a very quick fix, not the ideal way of doing it. Make sure you set your workpiece coords using G54 and leave G53 Z0 at machine zero. Will need saving as a .cps extension and putting in your personal posts folder.

It should do until you feel confident to change it to suit yourself.
