Micro Kinetics / Sherline Benchtop Lathe
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2022 4:48 pm
Hey All,
I am retrofitting an older Micro Kinetics / Sherline lathe with the controller and so far I have been successful on getting the machine ready to test some turning code. I have an existing part all modeled up in Fusion 360 and just attempted to post it. I filtered the post library for turning and the buildbotics post does not show up. I unselected the turning filter, picked the listed buildbotics post and attempted to post it anyway but got an error stating the post doesn't support turning toolpaths(see below for full error). Before I proceed any further has anyone on here retrofitted a lathe yet and produced code out of Fusion360? If so what post worked for you?
