Sheetcam Post Processor for Flashcut

Post by yseguy »

Ive got a few years of experience with mach3 and sheetcam, in my home shop, my real job and in college and I really like the interface of it. My newest table has a flashcut CNC controller and Ive been using it for a few months now. While it is nice and easy to use I just dont feel like I have the control of sheetcam for toolpath planning. Like for example you cant adjust your lead ins by layer, you have to do it one at a time which is a real pain on a fully nested sheet. Does anyone have a post Processor for sheetcam that would be compatible with the Flashcut controller? And if anyone knew how to control it with an x box controller that would be a huge bonus

Maybe try the SheetCam forum. I know Les replies pretty quickly over there. I'm sure he can help you with a post.

Thanks I signed up for the sheetcam forum and Im waiting to be approved. That is very close to what I need and I may end up modifying it if I cant find anything else but it is for a program 1 version newer and a table without a z axis which I have on mine
