Can you change the post in Bobcad? I would set it for R type programing and brake any arcs greater than 180 If you do that I think it is going to run great!

It is on the list

Do the change to the home and limits. EXIT Mach3! This will save the xml and you should be good to go after that....
Try that and see if that fixes you up.

Well I think the best thing for you to do is to take a look at the videos. there is a macropump video that I think would help to tell you how we could get the controle to stop a program if an input changed. After that take a look in the customization manual for Mach2 (It is about the same as Mach3). And if you would like to post the flow of what you are looking for here I will give you a hand.

Welcome and have FUN!

I will see if I can get him to cut one more thread so I can take a pic of it cutting:) It was not a high speed spindle, we cut the threads with a series one CNC in one pass. The wood was walnut and I think we were cutting it at 40IPM.

I will see him in a few days and I will see if I can get him to do it again!

Here you are:

If  Tool = 0 Then
    Button = MsgBox("Possible wrong Tool!!!!! Would you like to change it???",4,"Lathe program error...")
   If Button = 6 Then 'Button = 6 when you press the "yes" button
   X = Question("Enter New Tool Number")
   Call SetUserDRO(1092,X)
End If
