Post-Processors

When creating toolpaths for the PS1 Shopbot, there are now two distinct options:

  • Shopbot TC_PS1(Inch) and Shopbot TC_PS1(mm)
    • For general usage of the Shopbot (typically cutting)
  • Shopbot TC_PS1-NO_SPIN(Inch) and Shopbot TC_PS1-NO_SPIN(mm)
    • For dragging, engraving, and other tasks where the bit (may not actually be a bit) must not spin.

Be careful when creating a toolpath file that you select the right post-processor!
