Fusion 360 lathe post processor? was created by Ross77

I'm have trouble finding a PP that works with G76. I got the latest one from Autodesk but keeps failing with the follow error message

Error: Threading not supported using synchronization of feed-spindle.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I found the one on Github for g76 and the same error. Is it something I'm doing in fusion that is not setting it up correctly?

I tried the modified Tormach one and that does generate gcode but dosn't use g76 and failed to cut a thread when I ran it.

Cheers

The standard tormach slant_pro.cps file appears to use G76:

  switch (cycleType) {
  case "thread-turning":
    var r = -cycle.incrementalX; // positive if taper goes down - delta radius
    var threadsPerInch = 1.0/cycle.pitch; // per mm for metric
    var f = 1/threadsPerInch;
    writeBlock(
      gMotionModal.format(76),
      xOutput.format(x - cycle.incrementalX),
      yOutput.format(y),
      zOutput.format(z),
      conditional(zFormat.isSignificant(r), g92ROutput.format(r)),
      feedOutput.format(f)
    );
    return;
  }

Is that the one you are using?

I used the one posted on here "Linuxcnc_Lathe_20160430.cps" that uses the correct tool change for linux.

Think I may have solved it and it was user error. Doh

I just needed to check the "use Cycle" box in the passes box of the treading tool path in fusion

Thanks for the help, on to the next problem then.....
