Hi all-
I’ve been using Sheetcam with Mach3 on a homemade plasma cutter for several years and Sheetcam has become the go-to tool and a lot of folks know it. We recently got rid of the homemade machine for a Tormach 1300PL and I noticed there’s no post processor for it. I was thinking to try writing my own, as I already had to do that for our homemade machine, but I have a couple of questions:
- What would be the best existing post processor to start with? The Tormach uses PathPilot which is a fork of LinuxCNC and I thought I’d start there, unless there’s a better one to use.
- Does a post processor for this machine already exist? I’d think there’d already be one so I was kinda surprised when I looked in the list and nothing for Tormach was there.
Thanks for any info; if I do end up having to write my own, I’ll post it in the user-contributed section so hopefully it’ll be useful to others with the same machine.
Ron
