Not using Mach, using Anilam Crusader M. The post is for a generic "Crusader 2M." While it may work fine for a Crusader 2, it isn't working for an M. Admittedly the first week and a half wait for a Post fix is my fault as I didn't send the correct .cnc file to Rodney although I sent everything that would have created a .cnc file for him.

I really want to post some pictures on the neat widget and a how to, but it isn't happening with crop circles. I don't have time to upgrade my control to EMC2 even though I have the parts, but it is looking like that's the only way I'll get good product as I heard there is a good post for EMC.

Having paid the Hobby price I know it is important to give them time. I'm in a competition though and woefully behind and NEED a post that works. I'm really happy with how intuitive the program itself is, but rewriting a good Post is far from intuitive. Most users will never have this problem.

Mr Wild.
I don't have any files to try this out on but can you run your files thought this PP to see if it cures it.

Thanks, it's late now but I'll do a post first thing in the morning to see how it goes. It downloaded and got sent to application data, so it's there for me to load. Thanks for the effort.

Just ran the Crus M post through Dolphin. It looks good and the end even showed the "G29E" to end the program and rewind. I'll get out to the shop later and fire up the mill, but on first glance, this seems to have the right moves. If this works I'll be jonesing for another seat just so the shop computer can post directly.
