Just for your information, if you copy the mill screenset to, say your desktop, then change the file extension from .set to .lset then it will turn it into a lathe compatible screenset.
You will also have to rename it or it will overwrite the standard lathe screenset when you paste it back to the Mach3 folder.

I have posted my screenset on the forum a couple of times but if I can't find the link I will put it on my cloud and give you a link to that.

Thanks Hood, much appreciated.

By the way, I tried renaming the 1024 to lset and reloading, but then it still shows Mill wizards. Do I need to change anything else?

Afraid you must have done something wrong in the naming, either that or you were using a mill profile and loaded the .lset.
If the latter then you need to restart Mach after loading the .lset and that will then turn the mill profile into a Lathe profile.
