Thanks for the link to clisby and their microlathe.  That is something!
When do we start?  

If I remember right, Fred said there were some questions about application
of emc to a lathe.  One would be spindle.  Here, I think that we could
define the spindle as a rotary axis for threadcutting.  

Haven't thought much about diameter vs radius of part for x axis motion and
offsets.  

I could work out the gui changes and look over the canned cycles for
application to turning.  I have an ulterior motive here -- three hardinge
lathes with dead AB controls and GE drives.

Any thoughts.

Ray
