Without the g-code file it is difficult to help you...

Re: turning radius - surface with steps

I do not think it is a software problem since my lathe is turning without visible steps.

I would try to use sharp inserts and play with U W in G70.

Re: Lathe fourth axis active tooling

My lathe is with XZCY axis, no problem for Acorn6 Lathe ultimate version.

At the moment G2/3 is not running in XY plane, but short vector linear moves will work to mill arcs.

Intercon is only for 2 axis, you have to use CAD/CAM or handcode

Re: Lathe fourth axis active tooling

Not sure what you want, the machine on the pic do not have a real Y axis.

But with a C-axis you could interpolate a Y-axis.

C-Axis will be the third axis on a lathe.

I have made a PP for fusion to do this on a lathe with Centroid CNC

Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

Could also be a problem with rigidity tunning... I use 1 turn/2.5mm on my machines to keep the servo rpm higher = more power while cutting and they run butter smooth, no vibrations. I tune rigidity till they jitter and then back off the settings a little bit till they run smooth and hold a position ...

Looks like this is tied together with your analogue out problems ;)

Re: New Build: Denford/Sherline MicroLathe

FWIW, I have skimmed through most of the 403 page Lathe user manual and when I look up G99 there is nothing anywhere that says nothing will happen if it's active and the spindle isn't turning. If the spindle is turning, I am now getting movement so thanks for the tip. But is it possible to command ...

Re: New Build: Denford/Sherline MicroLathe

You should read the manual....

G98 per minute feed
G99 per revolution feed

if G99 is active and the spindle is not turning nothing will happen
