Recently I started using my mill as a vertical lathe for a couple of projects. I setup some gang tooling along the Y-axis to avoid manual tool changes. Everything is working out great, but now I want to add some threading. I took some G76 threading code to integrate into my current jobs, and Mach Mill complains that it doesn't recognize the G76 code. I was a little surprised that it didn't recognize it since I thought Mach used common code between the two. Is there any easy way to add support for G76 in Mill?
I've avoided using Lathe for this setup since I don't want to go through the hassle of making a new Lathe screen with a Y-axis to handle the gang tool setup. I suppose if there is already a 3-axis lathe screen out there I'd be happy to use that as well (I haven't found one yet so if anyone knows of one, please let me know.)
Let me know if anyone has thoughts on this.
Thanks
Chris
