Brains and flash screens are all very nice, but the lathe version of Lazycam is not out yet, and I have been crying out for a roughing/ reentrant cycle, same as the Fanuc G71/ G73, as necessary as the pocketing cycles are for mill. We have no way of roughing out an arbitrary shape in lathe at all, without resorting to expensive CAM programs, which, in my opinion, are less than complete for lathe work. Mills rule in the CAM world, but the lathe is all but forgotten because it's a 2 axis machine.
