Got the spindle encoder issue sorted so I have rpm display , also found out that the encoder scale needed to be negative as my a/b must be reversed , now have spindle synchronized motion working , time to put the guards back on and start some test cuts.

Ignore the backwards x move , I have been working on my lathe post and flipped my x around along the way.

For the first time in 15+ years the standard modern 1700 is cutting metal , got the tool changer sorted out and did some test cuts in plastic before making up a jt1 Arbour.

Hige shout out to the people around here for all their knowledge.

Have to sort out my g2/g3 ijk in my cam post but we're on our way.

Do you happen to have an example of g2/g3 in a lathe program ? I have tried every combo I can output in my ancient mastercam but I'm always getting the "radius to end of arc differs from radius to start" error

Might make my post modification easier if i can see an example.

Got my mastercam post sorted out , was trying to cut rads in diameter mode.

Broke in the retrofit on some 2.5" 4140 for a auger shaft , im in love with this machine.
