Bar Feed command\Stock advance


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

 

I am attempting to add a bar feed command through our current post setup using the "stock advance" feature in mastercam.  I've gotten most everything ironed out so far, but can't seem to make anything work for the needed bar feed command.  We have been hand coding it up until now, and only require the following:

 

M69 Chuck Un-Clamp

M51 Bar feed command

M68 Clamp

 

I am using the Stock advance feature, but was questioning whether using the canned text would be a better option since its three lines and I want it to follow after the part-off tool.  Either way, it doesn't matter to me as long as we can generate code that works.  I can furnish any other information needed.  

 

Thanks for the help!

-Bret
