My Harmonic drive is set up as an 'A' axis so the graphic on the screen

I'd have to change my INI or HAL file to make the axis of rotation of the
harmonic drive to be in line with the Z axis. Don't know how to do that.
If you can re-orient it physically, then there is no need to change the
axis name in HAL. just carry on calling it "A".
True but it doesn't make a pretty tool path on the AXIS display.
True here even with everything renamed. For B, I get a spinning tool
image but the tool point does not describe the 50mm diameter thread its
actually carving. AFATM is concerned its actually carving a straight
line. The thread itself is very small changes in Y & Z per loop.
