Turn G-code: conversational lathe cycle generator for LinuxCNC (12 cycles)

A short clip of the home-built lathe that Turn G-code was written for. It runs LinuxCNC; the G-code for the cuts in the video was made with the program.



Happy to answer questions about the build or the program.

Short update: I made a 3-minute video that goes through all 12 cycles - the form, the 2D preview and the G-code it generates.



Also new: the Windows version is now on the Microsoft Store (no more SmartScreen warnings on the installer). The Linux .deb is on the site as before.

Trial (15 days, no email needed): turngcode.com/en/trial/?utm_source=linux...utm_campaign=3min_en

As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome - especially from anyone running it on a real lathe.

Small update: I made a free online version of the OD turning cycle, so you can try it without installing anything.

Enter stock and finished diameter, length and cutting data - it shows the passes in a 2D view (same simulator as in the program) and gives you a ready .ngc for LinuxCNC (G7 or G8, G54-G59). The calculation runs on the server and is the same as in the program, line for line. No sign-up, no email.

The other 11 cycles are still only in the program. If you try the online one, I'd like to hear what is missing or wrong - especially from those who turn on LinuxCNC every day.
