Re: EMC For lathes

I'm told that there is some code that used an axis of the servo-to-go
board to feed spindle position into the EMC.  We will need to revive that
code, make sure that the motion stuff is up to helical interpolation at
threading speeds,  and add some canned threading cycles to the interpreter.

Short answer.  I think that the NIST folk are thinking about it.  I need
it also.

Spindle position is also of value for auto tool change so I'm sure it
will make it in there.
