Need help, CNC mill set up for CNC turning

[jlw™]

Hello all. A little back story. I sold my lathe with intentions on buying a better one... that money got re-appropriated. So I sold my jeep... that money too got re-appropriated.

 

I needed a solution for my hobby turning needs. I had an old 3 jaw chuck from a mini lathe and an extra 40 taper holder.

 

So I put them together and now can turn in my mill.

Any who, part of the perks of my job I have access to mcam. I have been using the mp post for the c axis and milling work in our lathes at work. I also have an Anilam post I got from our reseller.

 

I can use any combination for programming the mill to turn. Obviously I don't want to do this by hand so I'm hoping some one can tell me how to tweak the mp lathe post to output for radius like a mill would run instead of diameter for a lathe or make the Anilam post work with turning cycles.

 

Any help would be appreciated if it's post help or recommending milling cycles I can use for a turning path.

 

Thanks guys

Look for this...

dia_mult     : 2     #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X)
