Post Script Programming
Budget: $25 – $50 AUD
I've purchased a cnc wood lathe from china and I'd like to use fusion360 for the CAM side of things. I'm not super experienced with Fusion, I've mostly used it for making DXFs to send out to flatbed cnc machine shops and occasionally modeling things up. Slowly getting my head around CAM.
I'm having some trouble doing setups as the main spindle of my lathe is Y whereas I believe this is normally Z and fusion only allows that as a setting.
I believe the answer is to modify a post processor to switch the outputs around. I can send you a link to the autodesk forum where I got that answer.
I'm not a programmer by any means so I'm not sure what I'm looking at and it also means I'm not sure what my setup should be in fusion to produce the correct solution.
I can send you a diagram of my lathe, as list of Gcodes it understands, the name of a simular controller (I can't get the exact one), my tool arrangement, etc. Whatever you need.
I guess the short way of saying that is I want someone to build a post processor for my specific lathe and show me how it works with Fusion.
