Me, too.
I'm looking at converting my lathe to a CNC gang lathe (sort of like the
Omniturn).
I will use EMC for it.
By the time I'm done, I will be able to do what you suggest. (I don't know
the current state). Since I've just begun collecting parts, though, I
can't say when I'll be done. :-(
I assume what you really want is that selecting a tool will automatically
offset the X axis so that zero is concentric with the spindle for that tool.
It should also set an offset for the Z axis.
Lots of luck on your endeavor.
Ken

Subject: [Emc-users] Gang Lathe
Hello,
Thinking of using emc to operate a gang lathe, before I attempted it was
interested in hearing ideas on setting up tools with emc. I would like my g
code to simply say t2 and emc to know that t2 is set such a distance from
the home switch on the x axis.
Thanks
