    You can post out a program and then replace your machine definition to post out the same program for a different machine. What are you trying to accomplish?

    You will need to change the machine def but that only takes two clicks and you should be on your way.

    You can also create a new Machine Group (with the other machine post), copy all of your toolpaths to that group. Select all and post. If each has a unique name it should work.

    I agree with Mike,
    Each machine may perform differently to each other, operations can be optimised to utilise the machine to it's best ( ie max. spindle speed, feedrates depth of cuts etc. )

    You should not program to the worse case senario ( pick the slowest RPM of the two, or to the fastest feedrate the worst machine can handle )

    This will not make the boss $$, or happy:devious: and in turn he will make you feel just the same.:stickpoke
