Greetings All; Because the G5.x stuff hasn't had much TLC (probably from lack of general use by the artisticly inclined among us) since it was intro'd back in the mists of time, and is locked to x/y only motions, the thought has come to mind of creating a special config where x is carriage motion on the bed, and y is crossfeed. Essentially duplicating a milling machine's xy motions. This is the easy part. What might be surprises are the g7-g8 effects, which work on the x axis, and that would not be ideal. So G8 s/b hard coded somehow.
Next of course would be touch-offs, but if the config is done right, should not be a problem. What surprise gotcha's would I be likely to find? Was there some overriding reason the default lathe configs weren't done this way in the first place?
