Fusion360 is the only tool I've seen that can automatically generate lathe
tool paths. It is pretty much "point and click" but there is a lot of
pointing and clicking to specify the cut depth and your tool angle and a
dozen other things. Then it generates a g-code file and can run the file
in simulation (but LinuxCNC can also run it in simulation)
The software is free for hobby users and start-up businesses.
I did set up a windows partition to do that, installed fusion360 and
played with it a little. I am not a really big fan, but there doesn't
seem to be much else (if anything else.)
I'd rather use something on linux, and i happen to like freecad. But
somehow there's nothing much for lathes in it (yet)
I might just need to give it another shot..

Hello,
I am still looking for some tools/utilities to create/run g-codes for
a cnc lathe, in linuxcnc.
I saw this link:
https://forum.linuxcnc.org/20-g-code/28692-lathe-g-code-generator
it's from 2014 though, but wondering .. is it still around, can it be used?
thanks,
Ron
