Files not working

[Cn.Dale]

Trying to get some files prepped for the CNC and hitting a few issues along the way, I'm exporting from fusion and everything looks fine, but but but the machine either throws errors or runs something totally off from what I expected, which takes me to the post processor which is supposed to be correct for my setup, but clearly something is also getting lost between the software and the mill.

Who else can relate with similar headaches? I'm wondering if it's a formatting issue, bad post, or something in the toolpaths that isn't translating right. Would appreciate any insight, just need these files to work cleanly without spending hours babysitting the controller.

when CAM looks perfect but the machine acts up, it can be bcs of a lot of things, like the post processor, even if it's 'correct,' tiny mismatches with your machine's firmware/controller (GRBL, Mach3, etc.) can cause chaos. Try downloading an updated post for your exact setup.
check also the G Code, open the exported G code in a text editor. Scan for suspicious G0 moves, incorrect G20/G21 (inch/mm) or G90/G91 (absolute/incremental) commands, or M codes your controller doesn't support.
It's usually a small detail. You can do it!

This is a situation where programming G code by hand is really helpful, it will help with interpreting the program moves and feedrates.
