Re: CNC lathe threading?

[Ray Henry <rehenry-at-up.net>]

I can make a gui that shows x and z alone and can make x work in diameter by 
dividing the pulses per unit by two.  One place where I run into problems is 
with tool radius comp because it only works for xy moves. 

It was suggested that we might want to modify the interpreter so that we 
substitute axis names to get the same math used for the mill to work for the 
lathe.  As long as we are doing that to an interpreter we might just as well 
take out the mill routines and write some lathe specific stuff.
