Mach 4 laser post for raster type motion

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 18:34:26 GMT

I am looking for a post processor that will create laser capable G-code for a Mach 4 machine using Pokeys57CNC controller. There several post that are partially functional. they use the M10, M11 commands. I was able to modify the Mach 3 Post to give fairly reliable vector results using M62,M63. But the laser will not turn off during moves when I try using the pocket tool or adaptive clearing. Seems like you could issue an M63 before every Z axis retract motion. I would really like to use the pocket or adaptive clearing tool to create something like a raster path. Does anyone have a post that would work. I am not really inclined to rewrite an entire post processor for this. Hopefully someone already has.

Previously I have worked with same kind of request for stepcraft ucnc post.

You can get modified post also the which can easily be adopted to the mach post as well
