I have just built a CNC lathe, and it is working very well, except that I have had to make my drawings like I do for my mill, IE, setup an X axis and a Z axis. While that is working, some of the 3d cuts are getting to be a pain, I'm relatively certain that Bobcad can do lathe stuff, but don't know how to do it. Also, I have never used mach3 Turn, anyone have some pointers on that?

What version of BobCAD-CAM software do you have? I'm sure that we can help you with anything you may run into quickly.

Here is a link to the Lathe pdf file. It should help get you in the right direction. Post if you have any issues or questions.
The link says Version 19, but nothing changed between V21 and 19 as far as lathe is concerned.
