AlphaCAM post

[KLarson]

I am looking for an AlphaCAM post for a Shop Sabre (WinCNC controller). I looked a bit on this forum in the post processer thread as well as here. Anyone able to help?

Hi,
Have you contacted Planit to see if there is a generic post for this machine?

[KLarson]

I am getting a post from Planit for CV and it should work for AC as well but I am looking for a post to compare it with what someone else is using.

I think that a post from any of the group of machines similar to the SS that are running the WinCNC controller would do the trick. Anyone have a machine like that with a 10 tool ATC?

alpha cam does not have a .tap pp or .nc

these are common gcode files that wincnc accepts?

you could look at the pp for vectric (aspire/vcarvepro) i am sure they are on the demo versions cnt, warthog, and several others are wincnc pp

i have a post for a Shop Sabre (WinCNC controller) for alphacam it cost me $950.00

THanks. I was able to get AlphaCAM up and running. everything is working great. My next step is to get VisualMill figured out. Planit products have served me well but they are very expensive to keep up. I would think that in tough times that strategy of charging so much for support and updates might hurt the business.
