Yup, but I'm like Mark -ENOTENOUGHCOFFEE this morning so I had forgotten that little but very vital detail. You gotta lie coming and going IOW. ;-) That may well be one of the reasons I didn't get the lathe working all that well with it, but I wasn't doing the offset coming back because I did that to be able to cut threads on it, you can't lie to it about the encoders feedback values in that case. Thread cutting BTW works great, for both G76 and g33.1 now. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
