Need Help with 4th Axis post processing in Vectric Pro!

Post by joesow »

I have on order a 4th axis and have the following Questions: I am using DeskCNC as my Post Processor

When I design and save a Rotary cutting file...can I use the post processor "Desk CNC G Code Inch" selection for my Rotary file I want to cut. Or...will the standard DeskCNC G Code Inch post processor selection work as it does for non rotary cutting ?

Is another post processor selection needed rather than the DeskCNC G Code Inch designation? If so. where or what do I do to put it in my Post Processor list ?

Thanks,
joesow :roll:

Thanks Mark for you reply but I still don't know what to do get a file from VCarve 6 to mt Desk CNC Post Processor to instruct my Post Procerssort the 4th axis to do it's thing. What is needed to do this. I thought V Carve 6 would be able to send instructions to my Router after being processed. What do you suggest for me to be able to design in V Carve 6 and what to use to get my 4th axis functional ? Is another software package available to do this?
