I'm not familiar with any of your setup, but it can be something as simple as the Wadkin not recognizing the filename extension. Filename.nc is typical for some software like Mach3 and others use something else. For example, EMC2 software wants filename.ngc. Otherwise the gcode is the same. Some gcode has line numbers included and some gcode doesn't. You need to find out what the Wadkins needs as for as filename and gcode formatting.

Hi
I did a quick Drawing in alphacam then output as a file choosing post prossor bosch cc100 header would this be the correct one for the wadkin??? there is another one called bosch cc100 (dfs)

Or would I need one just for my wadkin?? and if so were would I get one from

cheers

You need to contact the machine manufacturer, typically they will supply the post processor (s).

wadkin no longer going there is a new company taken over bit they will need to do a site visit and want lots of cash, there must be someone out there with a wadkin ux twin head router using alphacam i just need to find them not an easy task
