Lathe - Virtual Compound Slide was created by yngndrw
Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible in LinuxCNC to make a virtual compound slide on a lathe?

I'm considering options for a CNC lathe update and I'm thinking about adding a full set of manual controls. (With the screen acting as a DRO)

One such control would be an MPG to change the angle of a virtual compound slide, and another MPG to move that virtual compound slide - allowing tapers to be cut manually.

Have a look at the angle jog component:

Thank you very much, that looks like just what I need! Now that I know the name of the component, I've been able to find other threads on it as well.
