MasterCam

Hi Guys

Took a while, but in the meantime I finshed my machine.

Status of Mastercam connection seems to be not bad.
I have not yet tested a lot, but basicaly I can generate a ngc file.
As proposed I started with the old pst file and used the mastercam conversion dll....

The file contains all files that I have done special in Mastercam.

Maybe it helps someone, I can not assist, as I'm myself a beginner with CAM.

Regards and good look
Mike

hi mike
thanks for the update and letting us know how it worked out for you

do you mind if this was added up onto the wiki page to update the one there.

thanks,

For sure you can ...

Only I'm not sure if it has " a good quality level" so it makes sence on the wiki.
If you can judge ... feel free anytime

This postprocessor for Mastercam X9 (3-axis) - LinuxCNC is still "work in progress", use with caution.
I have to adjust the use of subprograms and I must say that it does very well its job, it allows you to use all the LinuxCNC work offssets.
Any suggestion is welcome...

Recently I noticed that linuxcnc 2.8 master supports the G52 offsets which was a long awaited and very useful feature.
Guys, could anyone show me how to implement G52 in the Mastercam postprocessor for linuxcnc, any advice will be welcome.



Below I added my mastercam post with subprograms and linuxcnc offsets.
