I am looking for somebody to help me/ donate/ sell me a modified post processer.
Said post would be for VisualMill and would take VisualMills standard helical output and change to something that works on my Fadal 88HS running format 2.

I currently use the "output as linear segments" (as a work around) option in Visual mill and I can get a we little hole to output in over 100,000 lines. Obviously proper Fadal output should be only a few lines.
Considering my machine is old (10), has no memory and a max baud of 9600 - this ouput absolutely staggers the control and machines really sloooowwwwwly.

I have tried VMs standard output and with like a 15 IPM feed setting and a 0.010 lead on the helix (VM settings) my machine runs a helix at what appears to be full rapid and about a 2" lead.

Somebody please help :drowning:

You mean "Mutley" snickering.

Yeah - I didn't like it.

Made me think people would see me as jerkin their chain.
That's why it only lasted a few days untill I had time to modify another to fit the size requirements of this forum.

I don't want people thinking I am a jerk at least untill they meet me face-to-face ;-)
