Lathe post help


Recommended Posts

So Iv'e started to use MCX6 to write our lathe programs, I'm using the lpmaster post from this site but I really need it to post the way I used to wrtie lathe g-code by hand as we have 100's of lathe programs that we use and I need to keep them looking the same for our operators sake. Any help is very much appreciated.

 

So my main concern is the start of program and tool changes

 

MC is posting like this

 

O0000

(PROGRAM NAME - MW10)

(MAY. 10 2013 - 9:19 AM)

G20

(TOOL 3 OFFSET 0)

(.039 OD TOP LOC INSERT - GC-4125)

G28U0.W0.

N3G0T0303

G99

M24

G50S2500

G96S200M03

G0X.0884Z.1

 

 

 

I need it to look like thise

 

O0000

(PROGRAM NAME - MW10)

(MAY. 10 2013 - 9:19 AM)

G20

N1(.039 WIDE TOP LOC OD GROOVE)

G0G50G54S2500T0300

G96S200M3

G0X.0884Z.1T0303

M8

 

The M24 in 1st example causes problem as it controls my part catcher

I really need it to look like 2nd example but am scratchin my head here

I have editing a lot of my mill post and have done well but this lathe post has stumped me

 

Thanks for help
