microrouter post for mastercam

Post by papa_dogo » Tue 18 Jun , 2013 14:10 pm

i have found mastercam version 6.13 as well as a registration disk from denford labeled 'microrouter post for mastercam'.
1) there does not seem to me anything about microrouter post on the denford software downloads - is it out of service?
2) is master 6.13 a useful program?

MasterCAM was pretty good. I've only ever seen it used by someone else, but it looked very capable.
Imagine its bit dated and difficult to use by today's standards.
It'll still do all the things you need a Microrouter to do, if you can get to grips with it.

I think it will be a file which can be plugged in, or somehow added to the MasterCAM installation so that the Microrouter machine will appear as a post-process output option. This file will tell MasterCAM how to create gcode which will run on the Denford machine.
There are other post files for MasterCAM here:
