Hey guys just posted this thread in the post forum but i figured i would try here also since it pertains to a bridgeport v2xt boss 15sx (anyone familiar with these machines)
lookin for a little info or I guess i should say alot of info as i dont know to much about cnc. I thought i was ready to go writing programs off of my companys software to try out my new machine at home but i was stummped when I figured out i didnt have a post processor for my v2xt.we have I think it is 9.1 mastercam version and procam 2000 version that our cnc guys use and they told me all i needed was a post to write a 3d program for my machine so here are a couple of ?? i got
1. does mastercam or procam come with postprocessors already in there programs
2. Is the post the same for a 2d program and a 3d program or do you need two seperate posts
3. Can a post for one machine be modified to work on other types of machines
4. I have seen a few forum articles that have had there posts designed by a company that writes post, Does anyone know the cost of having this done
5. Can anyone lead me to a good explenation of what posts do and how they work such as these forum articles or some website
6. Is there differnt posts for every different cam program or can u use the same post for numerous cam programs.
Thanks for any help here guys
