    post for Surfcam to program Flow waterjet.

    Does anyone here have a Flow Waterjet post for Surfcam? I am needing one so I don't have to keep using the software they provide. It does not work that well for me.

    What Flow machine and software are you running?
    Can the machine even run G&M code?

    It is posible to replace the Flowpath/flowcut on a flow. It is possible to change the software in the controller to one that uses G&M codes.

    I have a file that paths fine in Surfcam but for some reason it will not path well in the Flow software. I really didn't want to change the controller out. I didn't know that it would require that extensive of a mod to run G-code. Maybe my guy is just not familiar enough with the software to be proficient at it.

    What was it drawn in? Flow, autocad, bobcad etc.
    And what is it doing that it's not pathing well?
