I have looked through madcam and do not see a lathe option ( have the A axis turn as the Z and X sweep across surface)
Anyone have an idea of how to trick madcam to output this Gcode or does anyone have an idea of what to do to mod the Gcode to have it do this
I will be cutting wax so feed speed is not an issue , I need code that will keep the A axis turning at a set speed as the cutter tip runs the profile .

I've done with a custom post processor. Not very fancy but worked for me.

Re: Lathe
I found a mechanical workaround , I used a D.C. Motor with a chuck mounted to the mill in the same orientation as the A axis. Then profile cut in multiple steps down towards the wax . This worked well as I was able to tune the speed so as not to melt the wax
Thanks
