Try the generic post(MPFAN) come with the Mastercam, I should work beautiful with your machine since it's Fanuc.

I tried the stock ones supplied with mastercam 9 that support C axis and they didnt work. I have one for MCAM X but that means I will have to learn how to use X. Been avoiding that since I cant seem to get anything done in it. I know just enough about X to be dangerous.

You need to go in the post itself and make little adjustment to has it out put C. It's not that difficult if you know where to change.

Ive done some post editing in the past and had good luck with it. this one is a little more complicated than a std mill or lathe. However I think at this point I am going to just give in and force myself to learn Mastercam X4 since I have a working post for both my machines for it. and its not like MC9 is ever going to be main stream again. even if I can do it faster in V9. but thanks for the replies.
