mach 3 Post processor

Post by trebor28 »

Hello,
I'm just starting out on my FreeCad journey and I think i might be missing something obvious. I have a part created, it has two operations - each with a different tool.

When i post processes the job- I end up with only one g-code file , as I dont have a tool changer what happens? Can it be set up like in vcarve to output seperate files for each tool?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Double click on "Job"
Under the tab "Output" select order by "Tool"
And split output.
For separate G code files for each tool.
