    Default Post Processor for Powermill & Mach3

    Here is a Post Processor file that can be used within Powermill for the Mach3 controller. I got this from a friend.

    I tried it out myself and it works for me. Please note that I did not test every feature of the post processor file.

    It works with the Delcam Powermill software which is a CAM product. I used Solidworks for the CAD, but works for any CAD. The machine controller used is Mach3.

    The post processor is specific to Powermill and Mach3.
