Andy Pugh (and others) can answer this better than I can, but here's a link to Andy's website on using the lathe: http://www.bodgesoc.org/lathe/lathe.html
On the above page, he has links to the actual programs, here's one for turning: http://www.bodgesoc.org/lathe/turning.ngc There are more on that first page. I don't have a linuxCNC lathe, but I'd use the above examples and then look at the LinuxCNC programming Here's content about a sherline lathe from the sherline website: https://sherline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/linuxcnc_help.pdf Here's a linuxcnc forum discussion that might be useful as well https://forum.linuxcnc.org/31-cad-cam/487-lathe-programming?lang=fr&start=10 No program, but lathe setup info: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/lathe/lathe-user.html Good luck, Mark On Wed, Nov 4, 2020 at 1:52 PM R C <cjv...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > > I don't know if this is a topic for this list, but trying to learn how > to write a 'simple' canned cycle g-code program > > basically to learn how to get started. > > > let's say I want to make a simple shaft, stock is a little over 0.25", > and want one half of it to be 0.25" and the other half 3/16" > > (Earlier I was looking for an online script or so that can do that). > > > Is there a beginners guide/course that walks you through this with > simple examples?
