As I recall, there was a specific comment that lathes were not yet
supported.
It doesn't make sense. Lathes were fully supported for
several years before the schism/fork of Machinekit.
So, all features that were in LinuxCNC before that should
all work in Machinekit. Lathe threading had been working
since a LONG time ago, since at LEAST 2008. Now, there have
been some major changes in 2-axis tool offsets in the tool
table, that was done for lathes. So, maybe that is what they
meant about not supported. That's the ONLY thing I can
think of. Or maybe it is constant surface speed, although
that should be able to be done OUTSIDE of Machinekit, with a
few HAL commands. There is also feed per revolution, but I
think that has been there for some time, too.
