Hello everyone,
my name Dirk. I live in Germany.
Be indulgent, google is my best friend when translating.

I use Mach3 since some years ago on my milling machine.
I use an old licensed screen for milling and turning. (That's a little problem)
My milling maschine is a Kami PD 350 with 4 Axis (XYZ - A/C). A Axis with a self made Trunnion Table.
I use the milling machine sometimes as a lathe with the late screen. It works well! But it must be better with a lathe geometry.
The speed of the rotary table is not sufficient for certain work. (example. Gear Cutting and "lathe work") In addition, I no longer want to perform turning operations in the milling spindle.
The machines are therefore given a rotating spindle in the X direction. For this, mach3 and the screen must grow!
So far I had learned a lot as a quiet reader. Thank you!
I think what I am doing might interest other members. I need a lathe with xyz axes. Sounds easier than it is, but for this I need a few "special functions". For example, function tool table for 3-axis lath. So far I have not found these special functions myself and need help. More in the ongoing post (tomorrow). Perhaps I create a separate contribution, because it goes beyond pure turning=> Mill/turn application.
That should be enough.
Bye
Dirk
