Groping my way forward

The post processor will produce G-code that suits the specific machine control software you have. The differences between machines are usually quite small but none the less significant. Remember that G-code for CNC machine control has been around since computers were made from triodes so it's inevitable that there will be some variations between different generations of machines and their software.

I think you get to the heart of it here - so can anyone point me to somewhere that can help with the necessary modifications

You need to use a post processor that is compatible with the machine you are cutting on (if I am reading what the problem is correctly)
If you are using Fusion 360 you should be able to find a PP here ;_

Just ignore this post if you have already done this

Thank you - I certainly have not done that :-)

Really helpful, thank you so much - I followed this up - but discovered that there is no PP on the fusion site for USBCNC, but now i knew what I was a looking for and found this - just in case anyone else is looking for this

I really appreciate your help as it's meant that i think I'm finally getting to where i can use my new CNC machine
