Well the lathe itself used to be a ye olde' input the G-code by hand style.
It still has it's front panel and all the bits to run it with CNC on there,
it has a tape set to record them on. : ) Isn't that cute? I think it is
anyway. I'm planning to bring the controller /slightly/ more up to date with
one I don't need to spend 5 hours programming. Could I not simply put the
output from the new controller into those coming from the controller on
board the lathe? Then I'd use the controls on the machine to set it up and
start the new controller which'd cut the part.
