Also, I forgot to thank you for the responses and help that I got.

I did get a help from Mastercam about the post problems. It seems that the educatioal department was doing it , not the post department. They told me that a post that works right will be on the way. As for using generic post, I did not know where to change what i wanted to change. Also this lathe has different G codes than standard lathe.

Yes, I sent them all the pages of sample programs and codes that are used in the control. It is fanuc 20T control.

I have cnc colchester electronic triumph. The post that I got from CNC Software in Tolland, CT does not work right and them seem to not want to fix. This was 4 months ago. I got that they do not have time to do it or do not want to do it. Yes, I did go through a reseller and got nothing. I would like to know any resseller that would have a post that would work.

Dave, We are using mcam 8.1.1 and mcam 9.1 . We have downloaded all the sp packs. One problem we have is that mcam 6 is still running on the computer because one guy does not want to change and learn the newer versions Thanks, Phil

We have a 5-axis Artran Machining Center with tool changer. I was wondering if anyone has ran one of these machines. We are having trouble with the b axis feeding to a position,the head jerks the whole time. I know that Artran is out of business so we have no service, but I am looking for someone that might have assembly drawling of the head.
