Many Thanks DickyBird and Hood. Option 2 it is then. "Stop spindle.Wait for cycle start."
Thats me sorted.
Ive only recently finished converting my lathe to CNC. In my spare time I make bearing extraction tools for KTM enduro bikes using machined sockets and bushes.
www.morgans-tool.co.uk It was a bit time consuming making then on a manual lathe, even with powered cross feed. Now I can make them a lot quicker with fewer mistakes. Just got to write the G code for each component, shouldn't be a problem as they are straight forward operations. Basic facing and turning with the odd little taper here and there. I Could use and edit the wizards but I do find they waste a lot of time and movement in the ammount of clearance they give.
Thanks again for the replies and help.
Regards Richard
