That is a bug in whatever POST you are using with Fusion.

Not sure if this is a tormach or a fusion problem but anyone else having problems turning off the coolant? For me using the coolant disabled setting on tools does not turn it off, I've been forced to go into the code and delete the M8 command on whatever tool I'm not wanting to run coolant on

I would think there's a box to check or uncheck in your tool set up to turn coolant on or not. I know there is in my GibbsCam.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
Must be in your post - the 2 different posts I use (latest Generic Tormach post is one of them) the coolant on or off is setup in the tool library (or over-ridden in the CAM op). No editing of post necessary...

This is a bug in the March 2017 generic Tormach HSM post processor. There is a fix here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-p...st/m-p/7197658
Instead of that, I fixed it by changing the following around line 539
from
Code:var c = setCoolant(tool.coolant, topOfPart);
To
Code:if ( tool.coolant == 0 ) { var c = ''; } else { var c = setCoolant(tool.coolant, topOfPart); }

Can't you just go into your posted program and put an M9 in to turn the coolant off.

Of course.
It takes little time to change the post processor... once. I posted 5 programs today. If you have multiple ops or tools that you dont want coolant on, then you have to search the g code for all the place you want to change it.

Steve, I missing your point.
The current Fusion360 Tormach post processor has a bug in which if you turn off coolant on a tool and/or operation, the Tormach post processor will output an M8. It used to work, but now it doesnt.
I provided the OP with a fix for their issue. "Not sure if this is a tormach or a fusion problem but anyone else having problems turning off the coolant? For me using the coolant disabled setting on tools does not turn it off, I've been forced to go into the code and delete the M8 command on whatever tool I'm not wanting to run coolant on"

This worked perfectly for me. I simply copied the new bit of code, and pasted it in place of the old bit. Now when coolant is disabled in Fusion 360, the command to enable coolant (M8) is not in the POST. The disable coolant command (M9) is there, but this extra command does not do anything if the coolant is already off.
Thanks sharmstr :-)
You are welcome. There's a new post processor, released on 7/17, that fixes the coolant issue: https://cam.autodesk.com/posts/post.php?name=tormach
