    Simple g-code program assistance

    Hello,

    I am starting a project in which I will need a large number of small pieces; in the hundreds. I will cutting hollow brass rod. I'd like to create a program in which will run the cross of the lathe at a specific speed and travel then return and stop. I will be manually setting the stock to a depth stop. I have Mach 3 for control.

    Any assistance or being pointed to a thread or other resource would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
    Craig.
