Works in progress / Lathe / Mill Screens Under Development

« on: March 26, 2014, 07:52:06 PM »

I've been working for the past few weeks on a lathe screen and have it at an interim point where I thought I should share it for feedback.  I'll admit that with the soon to be released Mach 4, I hope this isn't a wasted effort.

The screen is setup for a 1920 x 1080 monitor.  My guiding theme was to produce a screen that was clean, simple, uniform, and easily tweaked without going back to an image editor to change background layouts, etc.  Not sure if I've succeeded on all counts, but I'm happy with the results so far.  In addition to the lathe screen, my intent is to assemble a mill screen with virtually the same layout.  The mill screen would be adjusted to account for mill specific features.

All feedback is welcome as I know all of you are more experienced than I.

Hello All,

New member here but I have lurked for quite some time.  Finally getting back to making some chips with a hobby level CNC mill and lathe after a couple years of putting them aside due to other priorities including moving to a new house.  Looking forward to improving my machining skills and possibly rebuilding the CNC controller I made from scratch a few years back.  Also looking forward to passing these skills along to my son.

Anyhow, thought I would drop in here and introduce myself before posting my first topic.

Thanks all for the invaluable information conveyed here.

Rick
