For something this simple there are quite a few packages out there
but beware a lot of so called lathe packages are no more than 2 axis
spin off's from milling packages.
To be called a proper lathe package they need to be able to groove,
rough turn, finish turn, part off, screwcut and be able to handle tip
off set correctly.
