Problem testing my set up.

[Terry1956]

Hi. I am at the point of making that first test part on my lathe. At the moment I only have the free version of centroid turn. I know that the pawn is the test part. However it looks like when I load the pawn g-code it is only set for imperial not metric. I made gcode for a very small part myself but when I try to machine the software stops loading at line 19.
So is there a way I can reset the pawn to metric, and is the gcode not loading after line 19 down to it being a free copy of the software. Thanks.

Yes there should be a metric folder in \ncfiles with a metric pawn.

I have attached the file.

Hi Awe, I tried the software, however it all went wrong. I started by moving both axis near the end of their travel and setting home. I then moved the tool to the leading edge of the material and set the z axis to zero and the x axis to the diameter of the material. However on starting the job the tool just moved in the x+ direct until near the end of travel and I had to stop the job. What am I doing wrong. Thanks

Sorry, I send you an old version with a bug in it.

That was with G20 not G21

Try this repaired one pls.

The Pawn should look like this in Graph Job on a metric lathe

Please don't refer to Uwe(suntravel) as Awe. His head is big enough without being in Awe of him.

Sir Uwe is acceptable.
