    What Post to use?

    I will be using Bobcad for both a cnc mill and lathe but for now I will be running the mill via. Mach3 and the lathe using TurboCNC.

    When I go to the BobCAD website to the Post Processors (setting up the mill first) in the "Select Version", do I select "BobCAD V24 & BobCAM V1" or "BobCAD V24_V1_V2_OEM POSTS"?

    Then going through the "Machine Type" tab>"Controller Make" tab>Posts Available tab, which one do I select as my post?

    Now what would I need to select for the lathe, I do not see TurboCNC with the selection for the lathe but only for selecting a mill.

    Thanks for all the help,

    Eric

    Post for Mach 3

    Hi,
    Here is the post I am using for Mach 3 - 3 axis milling no automatic tool change. The post originally came from Bobcam support but I have since modified it to include the G codes for circular interpolation in all three axes - without these circular interpolation in anything other than the xy plane gives Mach 3 errors. I have not tried this for turning.
