Looks much like a wood lathe with two chucks. Linear slides along the Z axis with a chuck at each end. One X axis with permanent tools set up at both ends of the tool holder. > Do you want to use XZ for both spindles, or would XZ for one and UW > for the other be better? I was hoping to use XZ for both if possible. The action of G10 L2 P1 R180 would have worked if I did not want to swing around the X. It is exactly what I want but just for swinging around the X axis. It means that Z is reorientated. > Either option is relatively straightforward apart from avoiding > following errors when you switch spindles, or switch the toolpost to > following a different G-code output. I would like to keep the same gcode if possible.
Will I have to remap the G10 maybe or do you have a better solution? -- Regards /Groete Marius D.
