Ok so I was having problems with post processor and found a post processor file for planetcnc on this forum somewhere. I installed it and it kind of works. Now I can get past the error phase and it actually generates code. My problem is it's not generating the code I need. My Cnc router is a 6040 4axis Cnc.
For example:
I have a simple shape that I have made that I want to cut from stock using my 4th axis. Pretty simple. Chamfer end, cut it down to same size down the length then kind of a chamfer on the step up part.
I can get it done in the fusion 360 end of it all. And when I do the simulation I get exactly what I want with the tool acting exactly like I want it to.
But then I send it to post processor, and what comes out the other end seems correct till I try to run it. Then it just messes up. Instead of the tool staying at the top of the part, and the part turning, the part stays stationary and the tool moves. But not only does it move but it cuts through the top of the part to get to the bottom.
Then it will move on to the next section and move the part like it's supposed to but the tool still moves and cuts through the top to get to the bottom half.
I'm guessing it's because the post processor I have was made for planetcnc and not for cncusb.
Does anyone know where I can get a post processor file that was written for cncusb, for fusion 360, that works with a 6040 4axis Cnc router?
Thank you in advance!
