Hello, I am modifying a sherline lathe with a positional stepper to drive the spindle, and I will have a high speed spindle mounted to the cross slide. 

I am trying to set up this machine but am confused on how to handle the Y axis. For now, I WILL NOT have a Y axis, meaning any of my milling operations will be circular or tending to the spindle center line.

However, in PNCconf, it forces me to define a Y axis - do I have to do this? How can the kinematics be resolved if linuxcnc thinks there is a Y axis but it is not supposed to function. Is there any way to remove Y axis need from the machine?

My Z axis travels along the bed of the lathe to and from the spindle, my X axis travels side to side on the cross slide, and my A axis will be the positional stepper rotating the stock.

Do you have internet connection?

Once you sort that out, be aware that Windows needs come policy changes to allow Samba

No, I am not using M70.

This is not a problem in my configuration, because this problem also occurs on a fresh, default qtdragon configuration.
Problem on a real machine, as well as in a virtual machine with a virtual touch plat.

This could be caused by faulty hardware somewhere causing spurious interrupts that consume CPU time.
I am not sure how to troubleshoot that except changing the PC.
You have a lot more ram than needed. 4 GB is fine. Perhaps try removing some in case it is at fault.

Hey sorry im not all that good with Linux but was wondering is someone could help me figure out how to add the a repository to make it so I can install samba server onto the LinuxCNC Debian 12 build?  See ive done it in the past using other versions of Linux and even knew how to add repositories in other versions like Ubunto but now that im constantly switching versions of Linux ive kinda gave up on learning because the commands and file locations are always changing.  My end goal is to be able to have samba running on my cnc mills interface computer so that im able to simply transfer gcode files over wifi from my modeling and posting machine that runs windows.  Ive gotrten tired of having to constantly move files on a micro usb and have to walk from the shop back into the modeling room every time I go to run an operation.  Anyways how can I get the samba repository added so I can run the 'sudo apt install samba' command and not get the 
E: Package 'samba' has no installation candidate error?  Thanks

Hi
Now I have cnclathe
I use Servo motor for drive spindle
I create and setup on servo drive 2 input for on speed mode and second for position mode

Now I setup in hall for drive spindle in speedmode with Step gen signal
its good work.

then I swith to second signal output to

> servo drive for go to C axis (position mode) Now it's lock position but I dont know how to config in hall file and ini file for use stepgen.02 to drive in C axis when position mode
Please advice me.


Thank you

Grabbing another network card locally might be easier

Do you have a remap that uses M70?

Something strange in the config on my lathe (I think it's an old driver for one of the boards that counts MPG pulses) does this to me sometimes. I don't like it.
Maybe I should use your idea to set them to 100% instead,

I think that tilted workplanes are, at best, a workaround for not being able to define arcs in arbitrary space.
My preferred solution is to allow arcs in arbitrary space, but as far as I know nobody is working on this at the moment.

There was some work done a long time ago, but it has been abandoned (and I didn't like the approach taken anyway)

I drawback with both approaches is that most CAM systems simply don't use them. They jist make little straigh-line moves.
