    Buy post for Mastercam from Postability or In-House and be done with it. Penny wise and $50k dumb not doing so.

    What is your shop rate? What does a spindle replacement cost? How much time is wasted not trusting what is posted. In today's manufacturing world with 5 axis not having a good past is asking why are you in business? I sure hope all the programmers have the resume up to date because whoever is making the decision not to purchase the post is doing everything they can to put your company out of business. 

    I am waiting to hear back from inhouse.

    Hey tjamscad as Greg mentioned you can edit a post from Mastercam to work with this machine.  When you buy a post you are paying to have a post that you dont have to edit .  If you dont have programming knowledge it might be worth while to purchase as post verse editing it.  Your time might be worth more doing other things rather than learning how to edit a post.  

    I know In-House Solutions has a post for this machine and know of a couple of customers in the area that use it.   

    If this already is in exanstance we would gladly pay for it especially if it works. I would love to edit them and work with them myself but we have 3 Mastercam programmers in house that need good posts. Our other programmers use NCL and postworks.

  3. I am the general how can I help the shop make money guy.  We have an okuma millac 1000vh that we have been having problems getting mastercam to post out right. We had a guy that worked for us trying to get it correct but he no longer works for us. We went to our Mastercam dealer and they could not get a post to work on our Cincinnatti T35 so we are not asking them for help on this. I have filled out a request through this site for a post. However my question is do we need to have a post created at all? I see all kinds of things about mastercam can be configured with the base posts to do anything, I see you cant do anything and need an unlocked mastercam post to edit. So these are some of the problems we are fighting;

    5 axis rotary motion not oreninting correct, 0
    Can 3 axis cycle works not G19 correctly
    Tilt plane shifting does not work
    Rotary curvic for position does not lock head and table (m10,M12)
    G43.1 does not come in at right location in program

    What is the best direction to go from here?

    (Fanuc 30i, 5 axis bridge, 4 ax on head, 5 axis rotary table.)
