Hey, I tried exporting GCode from Fusion 360 for the first time today. All good until the CNC machine stopped on line 14
The tool rose up but never started spinning. Anyone have any ideas @CNCtechs ?
CNC GCode Issue
Line 14 (N20) looks good to me. Can you attach the full program?
I’m not understanding the M0 pause. Can you check you’re exporting similar to Fixed: How do I export manufacturing gcode from Fusion 360 for the mini cnc?
I can check more throughly after work

Thanks. I’ll re-export and ensure I follow your link precisely.
I suppose, it wanted me to confirm the tool change before continuing, even though it was in there from the start. I couldn’t see a pop up on LinuxCNC to confirm.
M0 is tool change, you need to set the tool though,
so in this case it would be:
M0 T17
You would then need to confirm when it’s done in the LinuxCNC popup.

Do you think it’s a random error that T17 shows up in the comments but not in the code?
Different vendors have different flavors of gcode so important to use a “post” designed for a particular machine. In linuxcnc, M0 is pause

My mistake, was confusing it with something else.
Yeah, it’s annoying that not everyone agrees on even the basics
How did it turn out?
Looking great there! Just to confirm, you’re using the correct post now?
As I remember I selected Linux CNC EM2, but I’ll double check next time as there were two options for Linux CNC. I used the same GCode as above for today’s run.
Here’s the finished piece. I had to get to bandsaw the bottom off as I didn’t want to go right down to the bed. Gonna look for a better way to part-off next time.
