 I am using the Mach3 lathe , and am getting an error message, "F word missing with reverse time g1 move"
 This does not happen, all the time, and never have it, when doing mill work. If i input a f 5.0 into code, it goes to next line, with same error code.
 Is there a fix, for this problem?

Sounds like your using G95 mode, which requires an F work on every line.

 There is no G95, in the code. How do you turn it off?

Try putting a G94 in the code

G95   doesnt require a F word with each line as I dont do that and it runs fine for me.
Can you attach your code and also your xml please.

 Put in G94 F 5.0, only got a feed rate of .03 i/min., but cleared the problem, program ran
 Put in G94  F30.0 and things work fine.
 Thanks

Lathes are better used in G95 in my opinion but its up to the user I suppose.
What was in your code previously for your feed?

 This is the code I am using. The only thing added was the G94 F30.0

Your code has G93, ie Inverse Time Feedrate, that is why you got that message.
