OK, the 1024B.lset was a mill set saved as a lathe set but Mach3 doesn't save it.   It always resets to 1024.set.

It works fine here Jim, not sure what the problem might be.

One more time .... just for sh*ts n' giggles:

Go to Mach3 Main folder
Copy and paste 1024.set to the desktop
Rename it to 1024B.lset
Copy and paste1024B.lset back into the Mach3 Main folder
Open Mach3, selecting your TURN profile
View/Load screens
Files of Type TURN FILES (*.lset)  at the bottom
If 1024.lset ain't in there, I don't know what's up.

OK, I got it now.   I renamed the 1024.Lset to 1024.lset.   Not sure if the capital "L" was a problem or not.   Anyway, I now have lathe driver in a mill window.
It even states that at the bottom of the screen, "New driver installed"    "Lathe".    Even the work progress widow looks like it is making a lathe part.

However, I'm still having trouble machining a radius on the end of the workpiece.    My code works fine in Mach3Turn but not in LATHE.

Here is the code:

G01    Z0.00     {TOOL AT END OF WORKPIECE}
G01    X0.00     {TOOL AT CENTER}
G02    X.325  Z-.16    R.16       {TURN .16 RADIUS FROM END CENTER TO X.325  Z-.16}

What it does.   Starts at the end and center of workpiece.    Swings an arc away from the workpiece in the Z+ direction then back to the workpiece.   It swings an arc but never touches the workpiece.    I also tried R-.16

I'll bet I need to switch it from radius mode to diameter mode or something.   If so how?

Almost there.

Thanks,  Jim

I use Inc. IJ for arcs, there are good examples in the Wizards.

G02   X.325  Z-.16  I0  K-.16

Got it all resolved.   I went into port & pins and then into turn options where I checked off "Diameter".    Next I had to retune the "X" axis motor to reflect
motor steps were in diameter.

Yes, I & J or I & K are much better for radius machining.    Using R is not that accurate.   More obvious in larger circles though.

Thanks for the help.
