Hi,

 

Where to find a post for old Haas VR 8 with A axis mounted on B axis for fusion 360?

You should be able to just use the generic pre-ngc and enable B instead of A.

No there won't be an option in the post for a VR8

 

But

If you select the VR8 machine from the machine library

Then edit the kinematic description to match your machine and change the post to the Pre NGC post you might have better luck

It seems the newer VR8 has B on C axis rather than A on B
