Conversational CNC

As long as shameless plugs are in order, have a look at Axis Wizard, under
Belfab URL, in the tagline. Probably doesn't do quite as much in threading
mode as Wayne's, but it does do threads as inch/metric, inside/outside,
straight/taper, and all common turning, grooving etc, plus has a wide
variety of milling routines.
