My Name is Andy Dowdy and I’m an engineering student in Michigan and I recently started working for Joey Gay of Great Lakes Cues.

I have lots of experience with CAD programs such as Pro-E, Solidworks, Catia, etc. I’ve just started using MasterCAM X to help him with his new CNC Router. He has always done everything using templates, so the computer aspect is fairly new to him. I know G-Code pretty well, and MasterCAM is seemingly easy to use. The problem I am having is post processing to his Shop Sabre CNC Controller. I have found a generic post processor in the software, but haven’t had any luck. I can get an .NC file generated, but haven’t had any luck opening it on the controller.

Do you have any suggestions for me on how to get the post processing operations running? Keep in mind I have some experience with hands on CNC work and general Programming, but using the software is new to me. I’m easy to pick up new things, though.

Thanks for the help!
