MACHINE POST MODIFICATION

[jfaustino9PRJ7]

i offloaded and saved a version of the post processer i want to alter, but i have no clue which line change in order to get the coolant on (M08) to move to a different line. I am not familiar with script well enough to know what to do. if anyone could help i would greatly appreciate.

here is a sample of what id like to learn to do

-------------------------------------------

im trying to learn how to customize the way the post processor creates code for my cnc mill

the first thing i want to learn to do is move the line in which it creates a coolant on(M08) code. this is what it look like when i post.

What post processor are you using?

Hello @jfaustino9PRJ7,

It looks like you are using the Fadal post processor, though this advice should work for any post processor.

Find the following line in the onSection function ...

  setCoolant(tool.coolant); // writes the required coolant codes

... and move it directly after the writeInitialPositioning call.

  writeInitialPositioning(initialPosition, insertToolCall, wcsCode);
  setCoolant(tool.coolant); // <<< MOVE THIS LINE TO HERE
