Simple G7x Profile editor for Linuxcnc/Axis was created by opw
Hi guys,
Created this simple, but effective profile editor for myself.
It is a lightweight Tk-based conversational editor for lathe profiles, designed for LinuxCNC / PathPilot style workflows.It lets you sketch, edit, and preview turning profiles interactively, then generates a G71 or G72 roughing cycle with a G70 finish pass. All core functionality uses only the Python standard library (Tk), so it can be dropped directly into a AXIS environment.Optional DXF / 3MF import is supported via external libraries.
For example you can:

For example you can:
- import an STL as a background reference
- Auto create segment points or (recommended) tracing the rotational outline with profile points
- Adding chamfers and radii for finishing details
- Adjusting geometry for optimal cutting
- Setting machining parameters
- Generating G-code
- Sending to LinuxCNC/AXIS
