    Trouble finding working post processor for Okuma Genos L250II-e Simple 2-axis Lathe

    Does anyone know if CAMworks supports this Okumas control: OSP-P300LA-e? The "Generic Okuma Turning" post works in Fusion360 for facing, profiling, and parting. But not for drilling or boring. It outputs complex cycles not simple canned cycles. I have access to CAMWorks and Fusion360. Any...

    Prototype "Creation" Theory

    I'm a prototype machinist that went to a machining school and then moved into a bio-medical shop and started working as their only machinist. I've never had a apprenticeship or worked for a giant shop (any other machine shop for that matter) and have only had the mentorship of an excellent...
