CAM for LinuxCNC
Machines run by LinuxCNC (PathPilot, used on Tormach machines, is based on it).
Checked by the controller's own parser
What the LinuxCNC post writes
- T<n> M6, G43 H<n>
- Drilling cycles, helical arcs, rigid tapping G33.1
- Dwell in seconds
Files end in .ngc. Every file is read back before export and checked against the simulated toolpath.
Where this post comes from
- The controller's own parser, in our tests: LinuxCNC rs274 interpreter reads every test job without an error
- The controller maker: LinuxCNC G-code reference
Not yet confirmed on a machine. This post follows the sources above. Before the first real job, run the controller check in the air, or compare with a file that already runs on your machine (Export options → Check this post).
