Thanks for the post , I did looked at the linuxCNC yesterday but while looks like I could rewrite code sections to allow for it. it still breaks down to rewriting code ...
I like the VB approach because I dont have to build / buy and new system ( to run just LinuxCNC ) and I will look into the Mach 4 option also ...

again thanks

(BTW, the waist is a radial axes, so I end up with a radial axes A (or X), and then I have a normal linear axes B (or Y) so you are correct to go from a X - Y cord system to Radial - linear cord system will take a G-gode conversion ( I was just hoping that there was a way Mach 3/4 could do it for me :) )

Thanks for the information , I will try that track

Hello All , Im new to mach 3,

 My question for the forum (and I hope I asking the right place) is , does any one know if/how to make mach 3 calculate X Y coordinates based on a radial waist axes and a lineal Y axes ...
I'm building a new CNC with a single post with a waist control and then a linear Y axes and i want to use normal G code to cut items.

Hello All , Im new to mach 3,  but was a robotic engineer back in the 80's to early 90's .. last summer built my own router table and have started building a lot of wood  based products (crafts). Since Ive been out of this field for a while please excuse me for any stupid questions ... when I worked on this stuff in the past I had to write all my own code so its nice to have a out of the box app like Mach xx ..
