    Exclamation Mcam 9.1 post for Fanuc 5T which to use or modify ?

    I need to find or modify a current post to output for an old Fanuc 5T lathe control.

    this machine uses G50 for tool offsets, trailing/leading zeros, no decimal point,
    the tool post is on the operator side of machine, horizontal bed. The tool #'s use T11 for tool #1 offset #1.

    N10 G50 X154744 Z6592
    N50 T33
    N60 G00 X52500 Z1000
    N70 G00 Z0
    N100 G01 Z-180000 F0140
    N110 G01 X54000 F0150
    N160 G01 Z-5000 F0100
    N170 G00 X154744 Z6592
    N175 T30
    N180 M05
    N190 M00

    Where do I begin ?????.

    Start with the default post that came with V9.1. or use the MPmaster post has allot of controls built in. look thru the toggles there are allot.http://www.mastercam.us/mpmaster91sp2.exe

    Also make sure when programming you are setting the planes and tools for bottom turret.
