It does take longer on a lathe without a compound. You must watch the motion, make adjustments and watch again until you have the tool tip aligned with the threads. The more material you need to take off the part the less accurate your position must be to restart the cutting of the part. Stuart

With apologies to Douglas Adams, is there a way to make axis treat the A tables rotation as a rotation the xy plane about the x=0,y=0 point? This would be very useful in visualizing the progress of a part being cut on the A tables face when it is mounted face up on the xy table, which is my

Chris, WWEEE - Yes the var file is writable. It helps a LOT when the ini file specifies the CORRECT var file. The ini file had a full path to the var file. Too bad the path was to a different directory. That directory is not writable from the machine account. ugh I removed the path. It is
