Hello Forum
I have a 4 axis CNC mill and am wondering If anybody has used Vectric soft ware to use a lathe as a mill? Thank you

Re: Using a mill as a lathe
Can you explain a little more about what you want to do?
Do you just want movement in Z and (X orY)?
What material will you be cutting?

Re: Using a mill as a lathe
Thanks for responding
I want to mill a motorcycle spool/hub on the 4th axis of my CNC mill. The material would be 7075 T6 Al. Length 4" diameter 3"
In my world I see x and z axis.
Thanks again!
