Hi Reedfirst,
Do you have any more pics or info on how you did those mods? I have a different lathe and I’m looking for ideas. Looks nicely done, btw!

That fixed it...thanks, Keith!

Thanks, Keith! That fixed it!

Posted the report in a separate thread. The lathe seems to be working normally, aside from the park function. I can jog it, send MDI commands, and run gcode.

I have modified the park file by uncommenting the 2 G53 lines. I also changed the X and Z values as well as the L values. When I try to park it, nothing happens...status window says "job finished." I have discovered that manually turning the spindle will make the motors move a few degrees ...

Yes, that is what I assumed as well but it’s not working.

I have override to "yes" in the Wizard. I tried the G53 command from the park file as an MDI and nothing happens.

I edited the park file by just removing the semicolons from in front of the 2 G53 lines but it doesn’t work.

Can someone tell me how to edit the park macro to make it move in X first, then move in Z? Currently, both axis move simultaneously.
