Hello Clockwork,
Just got my TCPro v12.2 w/ CAM 3.5 bundle today... upgraded to v12.3 (v12.5 has a conflict with CAM 3.5).
Rather than re-invent the wheel, could you provide a list of the tweaks that work for your Mach3 use?
I have been using TC Deluxe 14 for CAD, and DesckCNC for CAM (also have licenses for LazyCam and CamBam). I'm in dire need of TurnCAM, hand coding taking up time, so bought the TC/CAM bundle. Also wanted the solid modeling... Deluxe's surface modeling has been rejecting too many of my complex? parts (degeneration).
Turn g-code will be going to a DeskCNC software/controller.
So far, "generic" g-code settings have worked with all of my CAM and simulation software, as well as Mach3 and DeskCNC control. I'm guessing that's the best approach coming out of TC/CAM?
Thanks for any help...

The neat thing about TCC is that the user can customize their post from the setup screens - no need to wait for the vendor to build a post processor for your specific machine. |
