    MasterCam GCode to TurboCNC

    Does anyone know if the GCode generated from MasterCam is combatable with TurboCNC ?

    I am building a home CNC Mill and I have access to MasterCam at work ( and occasional I can take the dongle home ). I have a 3 axis homeCNC chopper stepper controller.

    Any help would be great,
    Thanks
    Joel

    Joel,

    Its just a matter of choosing the correct machine post before you generate the gcode. The special requirements of various controllers are taken care of by the "configuration of the post", as we call it. You can likely ask some of the guys at your workplace to point you to the correct place to make the settings.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    I think there is a MasterCAM post for TurboCNC at the TurboCNC Yahoo group.
