HAAS' are very easy Ok here we go we need the post to generate the proper g codes for live tooling c axis performing operations such as drilling and tapping holes both radial and axial as well as hexing, slotting, cutting flats. The post we are using is haasmill-turn.pst it seems to work great perfoming all other processes not related to c-axis or live tooling. Thanks again for the help we are dead in the water without this post...

We know no one is going to give us a post that is why we are working with our mastercam reseller. Our problem is that we can't get on the same page as they are. They are asking for examples and we can't figure out what examples they are asking for. Sorry for the dumb questions but this is the first time we have had to modify a post and we are absoulutly clueless on how to do it...

Good Morning all Here is our problem we are using Mastercam lathe v9.1 with our Haas sl 20 with full c-axis, live tooling. Our current post works perfect for everything except c-axis work and live tooling. We are currently working with our Mastercam reseller to write a post for us. Our problem is were not sure how this process usually works. What kind of information do we need to provide the reseller and in what format? Do we provide them with examples of programs that work? Thanks for the help in advance Art
