fusion 360 wrapping function for Mach3 in MM only

[daniel_lyall]

Here is a new tool for everyone (Mach3 so far) this was done by @HughesTooling He did the post processor changes and the .f3d file I just asked for it, all credit for this goes to Mark he the Man with the getup and go to do this.

attached is the post processor and demo file for wrapping Y axis to A this post processor can be used to convert X or Y axis to A you just need to make sure radius correction is set to half diameter in the file the diameter is 50 so the correction is 25, and make sure the axis of rotation is set in tool paths under config in Mach3.

I have not tested this on a machine yet also your X, Y, Z and A axis zero's have to be set first before running it there are some small changes still to be done it will be reposted when done but it works and is useable.

any question ask here.

for now do it in MM you can just ball **** Mach3 and make it the inch size just pretend it's in metric say 3 inch make it 3 mm that sort of thing, I will dig in see what I can find is wrong. unless Pi can be done in metric or inch

[Anonymous]

i apologize for my ignorance. I do not know how to do that.

[daniel_lyall]

it's the profile name the one you select when you start up Mach3 on the computer the default one is Mach3Mill it's a XML doc.

[Anonymous]

ok here is mine. I have a profile.txt in there already.

[daniel_lyall]

That's what I wont

[Anonymous]

Here is my profile.txt. There isnt really anything in there. That may be the problem lol

[daniel_lyall]

ESSG0704 is your profile it is what you click to start mach from the splash screen it will be in the M3 folder. it will have ESSG0704 XML document

[Anonymous]

sorry about that here is my xml.

[daniel_lyall]

@Anonymous is the xml you posted the one you run your machine with

[Anonymous]

Yes essg0704 is my main profile I use to machine

[daniel_lyall]

@Anonymous Right screen shot's of what you need to do

once you have settings set like above you should get the same out come as the pick below using the posted code.

now for some reason you only get a half circle in inch, Metric is fine I will have to dig in a find the problem.

also I would suggest you check all your other setting's and look through the Mach 3 manual tp
