  1. @Colin Gilchrist Thank you! That is a major help and a great starting point.
  2. Hello @Colin Gilchrist I would be great to have when not in a canned cycle for it to output a W on a separate line for positioning but only canned cycles would be a major improvement. I say a previous post where you were speaking about this but I was struggling to get it done. Yes, always "W" motion for cutting and Z pre-position for canned cycles. Having "Z0. W0." on ever G91 G28 line is perfect yes. Attached is the post as-well, any help is appreciated. VIPER 3X VMC - Copy.pst
  3. I have seen several posts about this topic but I haven't had any luck. The goal is to adjust our current post (Generic Fanuc 3 axis post) to be able to allow for a W axis when using canned cycles but output a Z location on the line before (can be manually adjusted at machine) and a W0. move on the homing line. I have minimal experience modifying posts but I've been successful each time I have dug into it in the past. Currently our code for a simple canned cycle looks like this.. T1 M6 G0 G90 G54 X0. Y0. S1200 M3 G43 H1 Z1. M8 G98 G81 Z-.1 R.1 F4. G80 M9 M5 G91 G28 Z0. G28 X0. Y0. M30 I'd like for find a way for the output code to look like this.. T1 M6 G0 G90 G54 X0. Y0. S1200 M3 Z-20.0 G43 H1 W1. M8 G98 G81 W-.1 R.1 F4. G80 M9 M5 G91 G28 Z0. W0. G28 X0. Y0. M30 Any insight on accomplishing this?
