Thanks Ralph. Some people have said I'm mental too. :lol: RotarySMP I've thought about that and I downloaded Mach3 to have a play but found the learning curve a bit steep. I don't quite see how it would help as I only have one motorised axis. I did think that it should be possible to turn funny shapes like cams or possibly even squares but that would need a bigger stepper motor as the current one is only capable of very slow movement. Trevor No problem. I've attached a copy of the program. It still needs some refinement and features - I haven't put anything in for custom tapers although I have set up MT 1, 2 and 3 for my lathe. There are some portions (to do with interrupt addressing) that came from an internet tutorial so I would give credit for that if I could remember where I got it from. If you want to know more about any of it then please ask. You'll need the change the file extension to bas to run it. Russell |
