I don't know if only a G18 in the header will give a clue to EMC that it's a lathe... Probably you must use "K" for that move because G33 expects a "K" value (for the Z axis) and as I understand, "Z" represents the longitudinal axis and the feed in this case is very different because it's a thread you want to do with G33. There is a lot of difference between G01 and G33 for me...
