Re: Simultaneous 4 axis moves on a lathe

Hi Stefan,

I use the build in encoder of the JMC servo, this works great ;)

Reverse engineering with probing cycle

Made a custom base for an natural sharpening stone.

No CAM used, but the old Centroid Mold Magic, that is easy and fast for such kind of job.

Re: threading issues after update

Sounds like a problem with the encoder or z-axis.

Re: Lathe part setup using a probe?

For best precision on a single part, I program two finish passes with the same depth of cut, measure after the first one, do corrections an run the second pass.

This makes sure all material and machine deflection is taken in to account.

Re: Lathe part setup using a probe?

You can set up the tools in X and Z with a probe. On a lathe I do not see a benefit to work with a probe in a toolholder to measure the bar in x and z.

Re: threading issues after update

Do not restore an report from an old version.

4.80 installed fresh threads perfect.
