Re: Lathe Features
Hi Dan,
Glad that works for you. I'll try to come up with more models for you to work with.
On G94, what I meant was that GCode allows movements that are absolute--ie. G0X0Y0F100--and relative to time (Feed Rate). G94 shifts it from distance per unit time feed rate to linear distance moved per rotation of the spindle. I'm aware of this, and have used it for threading, but was asking how that element of the overall work-flow fits in--in your plan.
Best,
Josh

Here's another job model to test against.

Re: Lathe Features
On my HAAS ST10, G94 is a canned cycle for "End Faciing", G98 is Inches per minute, & G99 is Inches per Revolution. Just info...JoshM wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 2:06 pm Hi Dan,

Re: LibLathe - Lathe Path Generation
I'm on holiday this week so i managed to find time to continue work on liblathe.
Screenshots below show basic profiling and facing OPs.
Its certainly not production ready but as a proof of concept its very encouraging.
Just need to find time to continue working on it...

Re: LibLathe - Lathe Path Generation
Hello gents,
I recently shifted my interest back to turning operations.
I've already experimented with Sliptonic's 4th axis mapping for milling, but now the full turning is catching my eye on the 5 axes.
Is there a prototype or macro of your work that i could test?

Re: LibLathe - Lathe Path Generation
There is a liblathe branch of FreeCAD here: https://github.com/dubstar-04/FreeCAD/t ... ntegrationRatonLaveur wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 6:55 am Hello gents,

Not really got anything useable at the moment, however, I will be continuing this work later this year.
If you could give me a nudge ever few weeks that would be awesome!

Re: LibLathe - Lathe Path Generation
Hey thanks, as much as I'd like to see a working solution in FreeCAD, I will most definitely not nudge you. Not until I learn to code myself
Thanks for all you do.
