Saving toolpaths with speed control

[dbrannen]

Probable should have asked this question a while ago but... Need to save files with speed control (spindle). Does the following seem like the correct choice of post processors (we work in inches)?

ShopBot Arc (inch)w/speed(*.sbp)

We have been using;

ShopBot (inch)(*.sbp)

I'm just not sure what the "Arc" portion designates in the post processor.

Shopbot PRS Standard with spindle.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The “Arcs” PP (post processer} handles Arcs as arcs, instead of subdividing the curve into a multitude of small straight segments. It gives a cleaner smoother cut.

Yes that is the correct choice.
