I just built the simulator on Ubuntu 15.04. It was pretty straight
forward, but I had to add a few missing packages:
Ubuntu 15.04 also needed:
apt-get install bwidget
apt-get install libtk-img
apt-get install Tclx
I modified linuxcnc/debian/configure:

The bit file is what gets written to the board. Don't forget to power cycle
your computer after installing. Not reboot, not restart, power cycle. The power
cycle is necessary to write the code to the FPGA.

That could be a free Hardinge lathe. Buy it, keep the three phase DC
power supply, motors and encoders and sell the rest of the controls to
someone desperate to keep their old lathe running, or wanting spare
controls as insurance to keep their old lathe running. Replace the old
controls with

You write .bit files with mesaflash, for a 5I25 you want to make

In this case, it looks like prob_rfx2.bit was the correct file. No

I believe G95 mode (feed per revolution) is handy for a lathe.
Particularly for a cut-off. You directly set the chip thickness and keep it
when rpm changes.
BTW 2ipm with 2000rpm corresponds to 1 thou per rev... not 10-20 thou?

Hello Guys,
I have seen random posts about converting Anilam controls over to Linuxcnc,
We just acquired a small vertical mill that has an Anilam Crusader M
control on it, with zero documentation. The person we bought it off said
everything worked, but had to get a few of the boards freshened
I do not have hardly any CNC lathe experience but I have been running
manual lathes for many many years. I must agree with Stuart about the
carbide insert parting off tools. I never had much luck with them. Broke
several of them and damaged the pocket holding the insert several times as
well. A
I am learning to use a CNC lathe. I like to learn from the mistake’s of others
by repeating them myself ;-) I am cutting medium carbon steel (medium because
I don’t really know what it is - not stainless, not tool steel, turns/faces
easily enough). I have a narrow (0.088”) cutoff bar with a
Tom; on my larger manual lathes, HSS tooling, I'd expect a chip load about
1/10 of what you are doing, and a speed about 1/5 to 1/10 of what you were
trying.
Mind you, maybe I'm a chicken, and I don't have Carbide cutoff
experience, so don't take the above as gospel.

Gentlemen,
My 2 cents (it is old experience)
For my first 10 (1979-1989) years in a machine shop I ran mostly CNC
lathes. Not exclusive but predominately lathes. Both operating and
supervising.
After that preface I will say I do not like carbide cut off tools. You can
spend a LOT of money trying
Wow, thanks to all for the advice, I have lots to absorb! I am nearing
overwhelming support of HSS vs carbide though. Will have to get some HSS
blades for this holder and do some experiments. One question on this post:
