Post Processing failure

[keywestboats]

Greetings,

  I created a simple model, generated cam files , and made my first chips.

Partial success!  I called it a win. I figured a few tweaks and no problem.

Now, the simplest surface 2mm tool path will not process.  Nothing I try will process. 

Here is my log file. Can someone decipher this?

Such early success, then stuck for days....  Thanks

Hi @keywestboats 

Thanks for posting.

You can modify your post processor to support Air  coolant commands like this:

1. Search ' var coolants ' 

2. Add on/off codes for Air coolant like this

{id: COOLANT_AIR,on: 56, off:57},

I have added M56  and M57 as air coolant, you can add as per the configuration.

For detail info about the post editing please refer the  FAQ link

Thanks, I stared at it long enough, I cant believe it was that simple. I just changed the setting in tool library. Your answer is more important for me to understand though.  Thanks so much.
