Thank you for getting back to me about this. I will carry on trying to find the latest copy of lazyturn then. I have some odd shapes I want to turn in my home made lathe, and I have seen lazyturn used for this. but the support from Mach3 seems to have gone and I've only just started to look for the latest lazyturn copy. the copy I have for the manual is 4/17/2010 Rev:8 so if anyone can tell me where to find the programme or send me a copy I would be most grateful for all your help.
cheers Greg B

Hello all, I'm trying to find out if I can use a DXF file in this programme of a shape of a job I'm working on and get NFS to write the code for me. I have tried to find the latest copy of lazyturn for which I have found the manual for Version 4/17/2010 Rev:8 that I know can do this job. but I'm pulling my hair out and not getting anywhere.

FAQs / Re: spindle speed reads (-)

« on: January 18, 2012, 03:40:56 AM »

I am having a same sort of problem. I have tried changing the pulley ratios from 1.4 to .75. My motor does 1430 RPM and the lathe spindle does 2100 RPM. if I have anything else but 1 in the pulley set up screen. the spindle speed read out of the screen will not read the correct spindle speed. I am checking this with the rev counter so I know what rev's the spindle is doing. I have tried to correct this with the trim pot on my PWM to 0to10v board but it is always reading low even when I have wound the trim pot right up.
Why does the spindle read out change on the screen when you play around with the pulley ratios?

Cheers

Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Re: 7X14 MINI LATHE - CNC CONVERSION

« on: July 14, 2010, 08:55:44 PM »

Thank you for starting this topic. I am just starting to convert  a new small lathe 10" X 28" to CNC control. I am going to use Mach 3 to control it.
I am hoping to install a variable speed drive and screw cutting features to it as well. if I can get this to work I am going to make up a multiple toll holder of around 6 or 8 tools to replace the tool holder the late has now.
Keep in touch and have fun
Greg
