When the CNC lathe is down and you gotta make parts !

Thanks for the explanation Jim. I’m going to have to try that sometime.

Thanks Jim.
I'll use your code as a guide and try something similar on my mill. (I'm the tool changer!) I've heard of people using their mill as a lathe but I didn't know the particulars. Now I ought to be able to figure it out.
Gotta get the Ducati out of the shop first!

Stable camper = quality and user friendly. Great idea!

Stable Camper parts, my son's invention.

Very nice.
Great idea.
So no hauling and stacking used pallets to set the camper on anymore!

Could you write that code in Fanuc 6....Just kidding!!

1:58....not bad....your lathe will cut that that time at least in half once up and going I'd bet.

I suspect the lathe will be a lot faster, I'm guessing about 50 seconds. The lathe moves so fast it's scary to watch it run.
