Roger,
You'll probably have to modify an existing post to suit your needs. I
use the Flashcut post and have found that it is pretty generic and
probably a pretty good starting point for Mach1. Once you select a
post, at least you will be able to generate a G-Code file and then you
can proof it to check for any anomolies within Mach1. Use the Post
editor and save it to a new file name in the post folder and then make
your changes. Of course, don't run the file with motor or spindle power
on - until you have checked it very carefully then run the file with
power on but cut air.
I have now received V4 but am still running V3.2 until I have time to
install the new version - but looking at the new manual, it is pretty
similar, just with several new and expanded features and probably some
minor bug fixes.
Cheers, Peter
