Just so we don't tread on each-others's toes here. You appear to be using D to define the taper? I know why you chose this, it is because nothing else is available. However it clashes with my (un-merged) multi-spindle patch: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/andypugh/JA14_multispindle/configs/sim/axis/lathe_multispindle/README Ideally I would use E for spindle number, but E is taken. I suspect that entry and exit tapers are very rarely used, and that E is "wasted" but we probably shouldn't go breaking existing G-code. Perhaps the Cabal needs to decide who gets to claim D in G76 :-) Is your pitch defined along the Z axis, or along the surface?
