Editing a "generic router" post from BobCAD and it gives me the following (and google is no help):

N2 G51 E0.178 B45

The G51 I take to be a fixture offset, but what is the rest of that line?

What is the control? Many routers don't use a work offset. It figures your XYZ 0 point is the position its at when you hit start.

If the code is to standard, G51 is scaling, and I suppose maybe E is the factor for scaling?

Don't know if this will help.

It's a Thermwood Gen2 Supercontroller, but this was spit out by the "generic router" postprocessor I got from BobCAD.

My Techno Isel had a similar control. Take out the G51 line completely and let the code start with the first rapid line and see if it doesn't take off from the cycle start position with no work offset.

Yeah, don't know what I was thinking when I posted that - fixture offsets don't start until 54-duh. :dunce:

Dynapath uses E for fixture offsets, but like E0 E1 E2 - E14, don't know what E0.178 would be, unless E0, then .178 is something else with a space missing between them.. B45 could be a rotary axis at 45°
