Spindle speed variation on lathe

Does anyone have any idea how to write a macro, or program a lathe to run a program using spindle speed variation to help stop chatter.
We have a Haas SL20 at work and it has this feature on it and it works great. I would like to be able to use it on my lathe at home using Linuxcnc.
Thanks Mike

I know I've read some topics on the forum discussing ways to implement it. I would think it could be as simple as adding or multiplying a siggen value to the halsignal sent to the spindle. But as always the devil's in the details.

I keep meaning to do this, every time I find myself wiggling the spindle override knob to kill chatter.

Then I always forget.

But, yes, adding the output of a siggen to the spindle speed command is the way. Probably Triangle rather than Sine.

I actually coded something like this for linuxcnc many years ago.
it was based on HAAS video I saw.
There may be a patch file on the mailist archive.

IIRC it was HAL based - I was asking about how to use gcode commands to activate it.
