Code/Post Processor Problem?

Post by Roy Smart »

Hi,
Can anyone help?
I am having problems with the Mach3.scpost Post processer. I have attached a cutting file ( Bow Hinge
Replacement .TAP) to explain my problem.
I think the code should read N0130 G00 Z0 8000 to lift Z axis for rapid movement and then
N0140 x79.4834 Y6.2727 to move to starting point. The attached code actually changes the lines around?
How can I edit the post processor to correct this?
Regards
Roy

Go to Options->job options->tool change and turn off 'No move to safe Z after tool change'. That should fix it.
