BRAND NEW BM3 Bed Mill. Need help with POST Processor please. Specifically how to get a Custom Post Processor made

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well.   Could really use some help please.

I have a brand new KENT USA  BM3  Bed Mill  that runs with Acu-Rite® MillPwr-G2 (3-Axis CNC)
https://www.kentusa.com/machines/milling-machines/cnc-bed-mills-and-machining-centers/bm-3/
I've built some parts in fusion360.  Now I am trying to run the post to GCode.
Unfortunately, I am having a hard time finding :
1) Specific   .machine   file for a Kent USA BM3  Bed Mill

2) Post Processor specific for this machine/controller combo

Is there anyone on here, who has these.  If not, is there someone who can build these ? 
I know someone will say " You can build them yourself"  I understand that.  But I have no idea how and don't want to risk doing it wrong and crashing this brand new machine.
Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Steve

Post Processors are (often) controller specific. Give this one a shot:

Thank you,


But, What about getting a .machine file for our Mill?

Machine configurations aren't really needed at this point in time. Ignore that section.

Sorry, been away out of town.
To come back to this, how can we get a POST Processor for this KENT USA BM-3  Bed Mill ? 
So it basically knows what codes it does use and which it does not.
Example it doesn't use G54 Work offset, since it uses Datum.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Best Regards
