    Mill Post: MC9 to Mach2...I'm using a Xylotex Board?

    Hello,

    I am using a Xylotex board to run my MaxNC 15 Mill. I need to know the correct post processor to use in order to convert my MC9 programs into G Code for MACH2. I tried using MPFAN.pst from MC9 and then importing them into Mach2...but the cuts were completely different from what I drew up.

    Please give me any help that you can offer...

    Thank you,
    Tony Elia

    There is a Mach2.pst that I found somewhere. I believe it was at the Mach2 yahoo group. You can find a link to the yahoo group at www.artofcnc.ca

    so you're saying that post processor works well for bridging Mach2 and MC9.1?

    From what I can tell looking at it, it started out as a generic post (probably one included with mastercam). And someone edited it to work well with Mach2.

    There are probably several of the post files that come with mastercam that 'would' work (might need some minor changes done).
