well, I was thinking, this morning that if you can make a part by
rotating it, in freecad, you can also extrude it a bit and then create
code for a mill.
If the steps/overlap would be small, then one would end up with
something that can be used on a mill, with some adaptations/translations?

You can try it out, there is a gmoccapy simulator sample package using it.
(Which, thinking about it, means that the base files must be in LinuxCNC now)
I actually read something about how to do that, but one would need a
plugin for the path workbench, and read is was not that reliable?
I did play with rotating parts etc in freecad

It works for me. I have a message set up to show "coolant high" and
"coolant low"
Hi Andy,
that sounds like something I had in mind, well, either that or just
design a part with "something"
Things I am planning on doing on a lathe are rather simple, I want to
make a little shaft with different
diameters in some places.

It's often easier to hand write code for simpler jobs or use the machine
in a mix of manual and MDI. It is well worth adding a couple of
electronic handwheels. You end up with the hands on feel of a manual
with the power of a CNC. Andy's macros look awesome. I must give them a try.

No. Which looks like a deliberate choice as it _does_ run natively
(and nicely) on OSX.
It makes decent G-code, but I rarely bother.
