    cnc lathe

    I have just converted a small lathe to cnc, my trouble is what do i need to transfer a drawing in corel 6 into mach3 for machining, ie setting depth of cut and soforth. I'm running two cnc routers running on Ventric, the program sets all the parameters for the job, but I'm not having the same luck with the lathe.

    Congrats on the lathe conversion,

    I've just started squaring up some material for my lathe conversion and am interested in what cam software others are using.

    I have been messing around with Mach3 lathe. I been making Gcode using the wizards.

    Happy machining,
    Jack
