Yes, it uses the index for threading sync as far as i know.

Yes I can confirm it does works very well, for threading at least.

I still can't get spindle orientation to work properly - it does stop at a location, it will creep back to a location if needed, trouble is that the location it chooses is not the same each time?

Yes the encoder is 1:1 with the spindle and threading does work very well.

Should be there in the main Mach folder and called M1083.m1s

Working now, at least G83 does, will it fix G81 too?

Needed to make a small batch of washers, 12mm x 3mm....

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Hood,

this does not work either.

G98 G83 X0. Z-6.262 R2. Q1.05 F365.

Does drilling rely on a macro?

I see no macro call or is it embedded in Mach3?

Hi all,
Hust getting back to my lathe spindle add-on for the Bridgeport mill but hit a snag.

This code...

G98 G81 X0. Z-6.262 R2. F365.

Does nothing at all, skips over it.
Would that be a know thing, something i'm doing wrong or something else??

I have a CS-Labs controller running Mach3.

Any ideas??

Thanks Hood, TPS had it - i just wanted to remove the current tool from the system not from the actual tool table, setting the DRO to 0 seems ok,
