Re: PP + Sprut + 4th axis
What version sprut? What version of post processor are you using? I have no problem making parts with my super spacer and path pilot. Spits out code just fine.
I do remember older versions of sprut asking something about 4th axis when you generate code and create tap code file in the post process window.
Re: PP + Sprut + 4th axis
Sprut is old... v7 I think...
the post is fairly newish, although I do not believe it has been updated in a couple of years...
based on your picture, it looks like you are not running v7... that looks kind of nicer than v7...
yes, after clicking "run post" sprut thinks about it for a couple of seconds and then asks if you want to run the 4th axis...
did that, and it created an output including the 4th axis stuff, it is just PP does not appear to like it...
Re: PP + Sprut + 4th axis
fwiw, looks like Tormach has a new post processor for sprut, well, sprut v8,v9 & v10 (they are up to v10 now? how did that happen?), they don't mention if it works with v7 though... may try that...
Re: PP + Sprut + 4th axis
I have PP+ sprut cam v10 and it all works fine with my 4th axis it works great zero issues.
Re: PP + Sprut + 4th axis
The question that it asks with Sprut 7 when post processing is if your code is for a different 4th axis configuration than the standard mounted on the stepper side of the table as far as I know- I always click "no". I have Sprut 7 and am running 4th axis code fine with PP. Other than simple projected 2D contour engraving my work is all continuous rotary paths and drilling operations. So if you are multiplying tool paths I'm not sure how that would work with PP because I haven't done that yet.

Oh yeah and I'm still running the post processor PCNCMasterPostRev1.5
