tool parameters

[Anonymous]

Hey Fusion 360 Gurus,
New cnc router retrofit with Dynomotion KFLOP and KSTEP boards.

Selected a stock endmill but the G code had a G43 tool length offset.

Edited the tool parameters to ero offset.

Still showed up exactly as before.

Tried the emc.cps post processor.

The emc post processor results in several G codes that complicate the machine tool position.
Specifically, the G43 command for tool offset.
I manually load cutters in the spindle collet.
How does this tool offset get established?
Additionally, the G53 command references all dimensions to machine zero rather than the XYZ zero established manually to the part material.
How to remove tool offset parameter and use part material zero with absolute dimensions?

Or better yet, is there a post processor that will not use G43 and G53?
I need to reference XYZ zero from the part material surface. Not referenced relative to the machine zero.

I tried editing the tool with zero length offset. See excerpt at bottom.
G43 still has an offset value.

Thanks,
Ted

skidmoto,

Reset the display and now it works.

Go figure.

skidsolo,
I tested first with the simulate tool and the G Code Viewer.

Then I repeatedly tested with the CNC router.

It is all good.

This version of KMotionCNC.cps works for me.

I would be happy to attach this file to the Dynomotion forum at cnczone.com if you like.

Or would you like to confer with the Dynomotion folks directly?

I would like to know more about how to edit the post processor.

Is there a tutorial on the Fusion 360 help directory?

Cheers

Ted

I am glad you are happy with the custom post. You can post the post processor on the forum if you like, just expalin the use of "singleToolMode". I will have the relevant Autodesk person contact them.
