FreeCAD Path Workbench / Post Processor

This helps explain the difference…

Masso Tool Change Command

Oh, I know what Masso says … chuckle … but it is not “conforming to standards” (NIST RS-274) as I understand them. Which I believe states that within a single code block (usually a single line), element order does not matter.

I actually knew Masso’s position before I tried to cut with multiple tools, and yes, their explanation makes sense. Really doesn’t make a big deal to me either way. All controllers have their idiosyncrasies. I just wanted to warn folks as I had said I was using the LinuxCNC post processor before.

Writing a postprocessor is fun, take for example when more that 10 offsets are used:

Masso: G54.1
Haas: G154

Yes, thought it would be a good reference for others as well …
