but I am stugling with the lathe, as I find Lazy Turn complex to use
There is a manual for LazyTurn which explains everything about the program.
You provide a dxf drawing of the profile,define tools, use that tool to do a rough cut, then a finish cut
and finaly post the code.Look at the appendix's as they provide additional information to the lathe user.
It's a slick program and a lot easier to use than some of the higher end ones.
You can get the profile code from LazyCam Turn and the appendix tells you how but LC Turn is
not as easy to use.
Keep at it you'l get on with it ............
