Hi Art,
Thanks, but in the example of running at 2000 rpm with the Z axis
needing to move at 100ipm, it would take only 1/100th of a minute to

Re: Mach2 lathe
Worked fine up to now (sort of ;)
There doesn't appear to be a standard "lathe syntax"
Fanuc 6TM is
T00<TOOL>00
Fanuc 20TAM & 21ITM is

too old or too new. In RC10, you MUST re-download the special driver

Re: Mach2 lathe
Steve,
I'm not sure but aren't you using the mil tool change syntax (M6 T1) instead of the lathe syntax (M6 T01xx)? That may be causing a transverse to 0,0.
