Recommended Posts

So I'm sure its my tired old post but I am having to use a longish tool in an Nmv5000 I need to home the tool before moving to the 5 axis curve for clearance. problem is referance points arnt helping, and if I turn on forced tool change, it moves to the right place but does not turn the spindel back on... What the heck is going on here..... Wasting so much of my day right now!!!

What post do you have? If you have the Postability Post then there is a mid restart in the mr section that allows you do do what you need and restart the spindle and everything.

a tired old 5 axis post from our re seller, the more I look at my problem it seems more related to the G43.3 call and how the post is positioning the tool and then rotating into position.  I have never been a post guy no matter how hard I try I guess I'm just simple. But if I had to bet I would say this post really does not have the logic to deal with mastercam 2019 and maybe I am just asking to much from this old girl

I feel your pain on this one. We've got one of those old posts, from the Machine mfg, It does some very scary stuff when using the MW paths. Inconsistent behavior, due to the post not having many of the operation path.
