I always work in diameter, except
I do 98% of my lathe work with ngcgui subroutines, having said that when
hand programming arcs I use radius mode.

I intend to do that as well. Did you check out the Gladevcp add-on that
Nick did
http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/40-subroutines-and-ngcgui/26578-linuxcnc-features-a-kind-of-ngcgui
I have it loaded but not working all the way yet but it looks to be a
great tool for lathe
I gave it a curious look but ngcgui works for me so I'm reluctant to change.

Ngcgui is also good for me but I like how Nick's program strings a lot
of commands together with some degree of programmability on the fly.

As for arcs - I always use CAM so never thought about it and it could
catch you out.
What CAM do you use for lathe Steve?
FeatureCam - I have a license for Dolphin Partmaster too - but I prefer
the former.

On X you can get confused if you forget what mode your in. For diameter
mode it is 2 x the dowel + the diameter of the object in the chuck. For
radius mode it is the diameter of the dowel + 1/2 the diameter of the
object in the chuck.

Hi all
I am fairly new to using a cnc lathe and I need some guidance with touch
off procedures. I am busy with a turret changer but for now I only have
a QC tool post with a limited number of holders so I have to re-tool in
the middle of a job.
I have homing switches on both axis.

If you are changing tools mid-job then each tool that you are going to
use needs to be in a holder.
If you need to move tools between holders, then
I use a dowel to touch off to the face of my spindle using the same
method as Andy, move the tool closer than the diameter of the dowel then
put the dowel between and jog out using 0.001 increments. And like Andy
when the dowel falls through I touch off the tool not the material. For
