Or, start the machine with the e-stop engaged. Good practice for any machine.

Re: Threading with Acorn lathe Pro
One thing not mentioned while using modified flank infeed is if you cut on the right flank as shown, your chips will curl towards the left. If you cut on the left flank, your chips will curl to the right which is perfect if you are threading up tight to a shoulder. Having the chips curl away from th...

Re: Touch probe
If you are using the part setup routines, zero is set automatically (display will show 1/2 the probe value for X and Y and 0 only on Z). If you are using probe cycles (which it appears), then the part position in the current WCS is reported.

Re: Threading with Acorn lathe Pro
It's an old thread, but the information is still correct. On the thread details screen (F7) the "thread angle" setting controls how much of the cut is on the flank of the tool. Entering 60° will cut with the tip (evenly on both flanks). I usually use 55°, or 65° depending on which way I wa...

Re: Tool Change Macro Help
There's probably no need to run 100 lines of parameter checking code at every tool change. Normally, once you have your tool setter and probe set up, you never change that again.

Re: Tool Change Macro Help
You can use any tool to set your WCS Z0 as long as you ALSO have that tool's height offset active as well. If you just load the tool and not the offset, or you don't load the tool at all, then your part offset will be wrong.
