Hi Tom,

Can constant surface speed and feed per turn be used with KFLOP/Mach 3?

Hi Tom,

I was wondering if there is a way to implement constant surface speed (G96) and/or feed per turn (G99) via KFLOP and Mach 3.

Hi Mike,
 
We would like to add CSS.  It shouldn't be too hard.  A simple C program to change the Spindle Speed as a function of the X position.  I think the main difficulty is that the "work offset" needs to be known by the C program so that it can determine the radius from the x position.  When you are ready I would like to try it.  As a start we can just hard code the work offset.

TK

Ok......great.

I'm jumping the gun a bit.  I won't be starting the lathe project for a few more weeks.

Thanks,

Mike
