Thanks for the suggestions fellas. It "turns" out that a user named Poppabear put a nice functional lathe screen in the Screens forum here, it was exactly what I was after.
Thanks a ton Poppabear, you saved me a lot of time by sharing that screen, I owe you a cold one (or hot one or whatever you like, as long as its not moving).
Hood, I'm also following your suggestion to use Mach version 0.057, I also owe you a cold/hot one for all the Mach support you have provided over the years.
The lathe should be coming to life over the next few days, I'm pretty jacked up, having both a CNC mill and lathe is going to be way cool.
