I do it with one of my CAM programs. There should be info on how to do it in your machine manuals with the formulas.
I have a Hitachi seiki lathe with live tooling and a c axis I have seen flats being milled before by rotating c axis while moving in x axis similtaineously but I have never programmed one to do it. Does anyone know how to do this?

Ok,,,here's a hint. It's a trig function.
Macro time.
G112 Polor milling is what Ive used. G112 when called in a program converts c axis movement to y just like programming a mill in x,y olny differance is you program x as dia. and y as radious. There is no y axis actually on the machine keep in mind it just changes the cordanent system from c to y...hope this helps....
