As a user of a Lathe with fixed headstock (alignment is pinned) this feature will be very handy for removing taper.

Great work, I really enjoy using your products.

Will CNC12 ever get taper correction for lathes? Would love this feature.

Building my understanding of the way CNC12 handles lathe tool offsets. So far i'm liking everything.

One question, should I avoid cutting with the reference tool? IE keep it as a pure reference only?

Ok, I was interpreting CAM's "CSS" value wrong. For some reason i thought it was RPM. It is in m/min. Explains everything.

Thanks again Uwe.

Fixed an issue where Spindle Speed wouldn't go over 2000 RPM. Was a setting in CAM "setup". Set that value to 5000rpm but... now im having a new issue.

Spindle will only turn at 5000 RPM even though its set to 1500RPM in CAM and Gcode. Gcode attached.

Help much appreciated.

That did it. Thanks Uwe, your replies are always perfect.

Have specified 3500 RPM CSS in Lathe CAM but running the program spindle wont go beyond 2000 RPM. G-code specifies M96 S4000 M3. I have an encoder and its working correctly, max spindle speed set to 5000 rpm in wizard. I can manually set spindle to 5000 RPM no problem. What could be happening here?

I had set the stock incorrectly, for some reason i missed it. Thanks tblough.

Using CNC12 Lathe CAM, i keep getting an error saying Z axis travel exceeded. Problem is its not. My Machine setup shows i have distance to go in machine co-ordinates, CAM stock length is set correctly, i cant seem to find where this error is coming from. Anyone have similar issues?
