AhHa! and microkinetics seem to be the only lower- end lathe control
programs. Some people on this list are using mill programs for their
lathe(s). AhHa is GOOD, microkinetics is a lathe program, IMO.

A relative newcomer is the single axis "threading capable" powerfeed
known as the "???". My mind just went completely blank :-( designed
for smaller lathes, it may be an easy way to add threading to a "mill
program run" lathe. still don't remember... Help!

Hope this helps.
