    I don't know about the ATC, but I use the basic Fanuc (MPFAN) post for mine and it works fine.

    The ATC doesn't need any special post from Mastercam. All that's needed is an M6 and a tool number and the control will handle the rest.

    Example

    M6 T10 G43 H10

    It doesn't need an M998 or whatever it is

    Thanks for the replies, I had worked it out my self, i edit the code produced by master cam as per Bamcnc's example M6 T10 G43 H10 and it works fine,( Mastercam breaks this up over a few lines) if you are only using a couple of tools and don't have the ATC setup the machine stops for a manual tool change.
