Has anyone seen or have a Mastercam post for and Acu-Right Millpwr. We just picked up the millpwr to add on to one of our bridgeport and as my reseller is never in or never responds to e-mails I thought I would see if anyone knows if there is one for the Acu-Rite millpwr.

Mastercam should have millpwr G-post as standard, If you don't find me give your E-mail address and I send it to you.

What version Mastercam are you using? Version 9 (and I believe 7 and 8) has it on the CD. If you're using MCX, then you can take these posts and convert them.

Massage as necessary..... :cheers:

Hi There,
I am using MCX, but like many other my distributor is very difficult to get a hold of / not absolutely sure he is still in business. I am looking for just a basic post processor for accu-rite mill power, i can edit it once i have a starting point. Thank you very much for your time.

:wave:You didn't say if you had a 2 axis or a 3 axis retrofit. the only difference is you have to press the start button more on 2 axis.

Here is the points you need to know about Millpwr controls using g-code.

You cannot use cutter offsets with g-code.

The best way I have found to use them is a a sub program call up.
Making the easy cuts with the conversational and the complex with the g-code that way.

you cannot edit g code on the pendant.

In the two axis control ( I haven't tried it with 3 axis yet) ,and with not to complex shapes, I use a DXF file, it works great and there are some editing functions.

Most posts will work, but you will have to edit out the codes that are non- functional.

I wrote one, but sorry to say it is not in a mastercam format or translatable.

FYI- I understand that they are coming out with a USB port connection soon.

When I had guestions about the millpwr, I found it best to call the factory, not, the dealer, and telling them the dealer was not answering my questions.
