    <description>&lt;P&gt;Guys would anyone know how to pop the M10 brake M11 release into my post that Engineguy kindly uploaded? Gee I read the post scripting manual and yeh, bit too much for this old chestnut.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But hey if there is a different portion of the forums that might be the way. Im just stoked to see a rotating component on my machine so still pretty happy about that tbh&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've read a lot of threads and seem to only come up with posts and info about posts for machines that are manufactured. I have a home built router and want to run a 4th axis. Ive been looking at many threads on how to edit a post to suit but not being a coder am not having much success.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Wondering how I go about getting hold of a Mach 4 Post that will publish a program for my 4th Axis. I cant afford the machining extension but I do want to use the wrap and indexing options.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also need to set it to rotate in the Y Axis not the normal X&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;An alternative is pointing me in the direction of a good page I use to help me make the edits I need too on the original Mach 4 Mill post. But I have not had much success in the past.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Try the attached Post Processor, it is one I used a while ago for Mach4 with wrapped toolpaths and I have set it to rotate around the Y axis for you, just give it a try, carefully, may work for you &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@D5D66E11BC96A1C8427F98151D3E9A7A/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt; &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@D5D66E11BC96A1C8427F98151D3E9A7A/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi many thanks for the post it worked enough to post a program which I was unable too last night.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I see its a B Axis output which I will setup. So for us who cant afford the machining extension, there appears to be no problem indexing and using the 3D operations by using the Tool Orientation Tab, and a new op for each side. Sorry - 4th Axis is new to me so hope that is the correct way to get things going. I have a lot of parts that need flipping 3-4 times this will be huge for me. Besides, my CAD drawings are not advanced enough for anything more than that, just part flipping on a 4th Axis.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many thanks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes you don't need extension for positional machining.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can also use wrapped contour or adaptive clearing for your rotary axis. That does not require machining extension.&lt;BR /&gt;But it cannot deal with cyclic (360 degrees) geometry and it's basically 2,5+1 toolpath.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok. Far out. Great. I only make parts in quantities 1 to 4 max (normally) that are complex needing to be flipped so many times. This is huge for me. Also huge because my probe only works about 50% of the time which makes flipping a not-so-nice exercise. But thats another case for another day lol&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi. I have an other quick question. My 4th axis has a brake, which will be operated by a separate hydraulic system needing a command to unlock/lock. I think M10 on M11 Off.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is the post responsible for this and do I need to edit it to do that? (novice)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can also try out the Haas NGC w/ axis post.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi. Thanks a bunch for that I tried it out but for some reason it errored. The Post Engineguy put up has been the one I am working with, I actually made my 4th axis move with a program last night. Went in the house told my family, received the normal yawns of boredom and carried on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sorry I am really not a post writer, would it be easy enough to insert those lines of code to make my brake come on/off calling a M? To be honest though, the axis I have is tight, and a 1/60 gearing. With the motor holding it I dont know if I really need a brake. Although there will come a day I expect.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If you create a Machine Configuration (doesn't need to have a machine model for Simulation) you will get A axis moves from the stock Mach4 post processor.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've attached a sample .mch file to get you started, you will need to import it into your Machine Library. Unzip it first and import it in.&lt;/P&gt;
