I am busy with some ngcgui stuff to cut some small parts on a lathe. The
tools are setup as back tools on the lathe but I need to cut the Id of
the job with the same too as the od. So the lathe set up as a back tool
lathe on Gmoccapy and the OD shows correct but I need to cut the ID in

I _think_ you can just use a negative diameter and it works.

I tried that Andy but is does not work as expected. I will have to write
the routine to explicitly do that.
I was hoping to find a shortcut and not have to write it from scratch.
No problem I like learning new stuff. It's what drives me :)

I found a solution. If you just put a (-) in front of the Z figure it
travels the opposite way. You also have to swing the incremental counter
for the no of cuts to add in stead of subtract as well.

I wonder if I can modify the manual toolchange code to send me an SMS

Seems like that'd be easy to do by remapping M6.

A more generalized approach.
1) Can we enable snmp traps?
2) Can we connect via an API and pull the status?
One thing I had been looking at from a scaled up situation - specifically
is you use this as a base for a lights-out manufacturing facility - would
be the ability for a monitoring program,

What resolution encoder do you have on the motor?

not a brake,just a ring with a notch that clamps on the spindle and an air
cylinder with a roller on the end to drop in the notch Milltronics used that

Thanks Dave!
If I remember correctly the encoder is 2500 PPR. It's a lot for the kind of
job as you say so I'm pretty happy about the way it behaves.
Anyway, I think that may be using a timing pulley the ripple could be
reduced. It appears only when the axis is going up and between 3000 mm/min
