    Didn't mean to come across as "Please write a Centroid PP for me" but could someone please point me at an existing one that is the closest generic one?

    Hello Milton,

    I have just checked on the Centroid website and found a user manual that lists the G and M codes.

    They look identical to MACH / Fanuc

    I would use the MACH3 post as a good starting point, you may find it works without alteration.

    The only thing that I did notice is that the Centroid doesn't support G81 Drilling cycle so you will need to use G83 - Deep/Peck drill.

    If you have a G code program that you know works, send it to me and I can make any changes required to the MACH post to make one for the Centroid.

    DickeyBird,
    I was doing the same thing looking for a post processor for Centroid and as andre pointed out the drill cycle is handled different in Centroid than Fanuc. However I did select peck drilling and it misses the first hole, see my post on Acorn site. Anyway I am sure someone has figured this out on the zone.
