[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1160281, member: 35183"] Shortgrass, if you were to look at how the "toolroom" machines work, you can set a spindle RPM and take cuts by using the rotary encoder and treating the display as a DRO. You can also "teach" the lathe how to make a part by doing the operations manually and the running the code that is auto generated. As the person develops skills he can move on to writing real G code and creating proper tool offsets etc. In other words, they have made the machine very easy to use for "one off" jobs where one does not have the time to write G code or create toolpaths in a CAD/CAM package.
