What you did is better then what I did, I erased instead of commenting out as you did. But now, I would suggest adding a property and a if statement such that one can easily switch on or off the insertion of a G43 code, this wthout having to edit the post processor again.

While I'm at it, I see an object named machineConfiguration in this same file, but I can't find anything on this object, maybe you can help with that as well?

Thanks,

This is normally only needed for multi axis machining and not really useful for 3 axis.

You can have a look into the manual if you are interested here:
