Router POST question

[mold100]

1st .......... X5 rocks, should have opted with solids but hopefully in an upgrade.

 

Anyhow we had a project last year that I we outsourced to a company with a router, that was using Mcam and I was actually able to go there and program our parts to save costs, keep the files proprietary and basically just rent machine time, the company has NO 3D experience. Welp they are gone and we have a similar project and I have a local shop with a router that will work awesomely for my project, it is a KOMO with a fanuc i controller and code is virtually mill code. What I want to do, is of course use our X5 mill seat to program the part, it works I know I do not need router to do this. What I dont know is the tool output looks goofy to me it has like t1002 and is weird, can I edit the generic fanuc post to output tool changes same way fairly easily. This company uses some software that came with router. And for you router guys them machines fly ......

 

Thanks in advance .........

I moved this to the post forum. Hopefully, someone here can answer your question

I would just update the v9 router post (from cd) to X5 mill. Should be close enough for what your doing. If your going to program the router much then maybe have inhouse tweak it in.
