Hey guys, im having trouble with drilling on MR-1 using mastercam 2022. Cutcontrol does not seem to like the gcode for it. Im not sure if its my post processor or maybe i need to change the parameters. For the parameters i tried changing it from pecking, to chip break, to even normal drill but it still gave me and error on cutcontrol. I even removed G98
I may be mistaken (and will let someone with an MR-1 jump in), but G98 & G83 refer to a drilling cycle. Last I read, drilling cycles (canned) aren’t supported by the MR-1.
So i know langmuir uses fusion 360 for MR-1 and they seem to have no problems with gcodes not being able to be read on cut control. Is it better to just use fusion 360 to generate my tool paths and gcodes instead of mastercam ?
Based on the generation of the Post Processor, yes. You may be able to include additional items by manually editing your Post, but your results will vary.
This is because the Fusion 360 post processor is setup to not use canned drilling cycles. Fusion 360 instead generates all of the raw movements necessary to emulate the cycle. Some CAM systems don’t have that feature and won’t work so well with CutControl. I don’t know if MasterCAM does.
