Hi gallenat0r
was that answer regarding the M that it will never do threading? or was it that at this point in time it does not?
I had heard from someone else that there were plans to make it do threading but that it would just be via a single index pulse rather than full encoder following as the A and S do.
With regards the S and threading, I have one on a small lathe and it has slight issues in threading but this is due to the way Mach is sending info to the plugin. It seems any of the external controllers that use this method (Z geared to spindle encoder) have this issue. I did find that an older version of Mach improved the pullout rate significantly but sadly spindle override was not available in that version. I asked Brian if he knew what the issue was and if he could change later versions to perform like the older version but he just said he didnt have a clue and sadly that was the end of it.
Good news is that Mach4 should not have any issues in this regard or so I am assured by Steve as he said he will make sure things are handled correctly in this respect. Only thing about that is Mach4 will likely not be usable on a lathe for a long time as it seems to be the way that mills/routers get all the attention and lathes get thrown the scraps
Here is my report of my progress with the CSMIO/IP-S on my small lathe.
