cnc lathe question
« on: December 22, 2024, 06:56:15 PM »
I understand the two lathe axis.
X and Z
If I want to use the spindle to drill 4 equally spaced holes with live tooling.

Is it still called the spindle or is there an axis definition that the lathe knows that I’m using the spindle for positioning?

Do you have a servo spindle? You mean holes on a pitch circle?  I think there might be a C axis but I'm not sure if Mach supports it.
