Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Threading on a lathe with EMC

Hi Chris

In a small way, I contribute to the EMC development - Mainly breaking and bug
hunting. But I do have a lathe that I'm in the process of hooking up to an
EMC control.
Every spare moment I can spare is spent studying the EMC source code - I am
sure threading and feed per rev (they are both basically the same problem)
can be developed. Allready have a few stratagies worked out in the back of my
mind, and once I've figured out just how to put them in to code, I'll be
doing some testing.

There are also one or two others working on the problem, so in time, it will
come.

Regards, Paul.
