Post by: josh on March 09, 2010, 11:28:11 PM

Never used it myself but the JCode plugin looks like what you are after, you will find a link to it here http://www.machsupport.com/plugins.php

Have a look at CopyCat as you can use an XBox360 but you use a web cam to record the moves as you go along.
There is a manual  on it in Members Docs. It is for a mill but you can manipulate the code back for lathe use.
