I blanked out on that, I new there was no rotation in EMC, got a buch of other stuff going on. Anyway here is a sub I did to rotate G1, and G2, G3 moves on a mill. http://www.mail-archive.com/emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02059.html It only works in the X, Y plane as written but it is a start. Or you could setup your lathe to use X,Y instead of X,Z. __________ Andre' B.
