some new extra turn wizards
« on: October 12, 2006, 11:22:39 AM »
I was wanting to make some novelty items (chess pawns & an ornament stand) on my lathe and needed to turn a taper up to a flat face,  I studied the work done by Brian and Kiran and came up with these.  Use with extreme caution, I haven't tested these very well.  Practice on wood, plastic or air first!

They are also useful if you just want to do a taper and don't know the angle, just the start and stop on x & z.

I just replaced the wizard above with an updated one.   (deleted the old one and put the new one on)

You will want to download the new one and get rid of the old one.

I had some trig errors that made the cut depth too shallow.
I changed the initial approach to go out on the x before moving the z.
Changed the rapids back to setup for the next cut.
Added missing feed.
Fixed error when Z start was neg number.

Let me know if they work ok.
