Hello, I  am still looking for some tools/utilities  to create/run g-codes for a cnc lathe, in linuxcnc. I saw this link: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/20-g-code/28692-lathe-g-code-generator it's from 2014 though, but wondering .. is it still around, can it be used? thanks, Ron

I wonder how long before someone comes up with something, so that you can just  print a pcb on a 3d printer.  Put a sheet of "substrate" in it, and just print the traces on it. On 3/2/21 9:20 AM, Roland Jollivet wrote: Has anyone tried this for holding down PCB's when milling?
