Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC Lathe mode.

Hi Jon

Can I disagree with you here - G33 is a dedicated feed per rev rev for
threading. From just one of my programming manuals:-

G94 Feed rate in mm/min
G94 Feed rate in mm/rev
G96 Constant surface speed
G97 Spindle speed in revs/min

Whilst we are on the subject of EMC and threading, it is a lot more involved
than just defining the spindle as a rotary axis. The interpreter needs to
monitor the spindle speed and position and attempt to update X and Z, but
only when it is in G33 or G95. Problem is, EMC also expect to have full
control of C (the spindle) and will try to adjust the speed in accordance
with it's built in rules.

There is some work being done in this area, but progress is slooow.

Regards, Paul.
