BobCAD Which Post to use with VR Milling VR Turning

Post by JSKRABA » Mon 30 Jan , 2012 10:55 am

I am considering using BobCAD with VR Milling 2.3 and VR Turning :3D:
Does any one know which of the many posts that BobCAD/Cam has is best?

Does any one from Denford Support have an idea how I might know, is there a spec I could use.

This post should help if you need to create your own.
Start with a basic Fanuc 0M or 0T post and try not to use Cycles (ie, have Bobcad expand cycles into G01,G02 and G03's)
