Question on VCarve Post Processors for Shark HD510

Post by Zeph »

I have a Shark HD 510 and I'm using VCarve software. I'd like to make some changes to the Post Processors (I'm OK doing this - I actually wrote the motion control programs to cut Bausch & Lomb contact lenses on CNC lathes). My question is: Can anybody point me to documentation that I can read to understand:

1. What all the available commands are?
2. What they cause the machine to do in the generated GCode?

Thanks in advance!

Look at the "Post Processor Editing Guide"

V-Carve Pro V12
Menu --- Help > Post Processor Editing Guide

You could use the NCViewer at https://ncviewer.com/ for test of your edited/modified code before attempting cnc machine test.
