Turning - using IPR instead of IPM?

Does LinuxCNC support IPR ( Inch Per Revolution ) or IPT ( Inch Per Tooth ) < for drilling >? I tried to search for it, but didn't get any hits just now. Very common, so surprised at a lack of info on it. Thanks.

probably should be added to the lathe user information section.... John T what you think?

Ah! Okay. My mistake. I should have known to search for it by G code. I'll just be over here, feeling silly...

Thanks.

Arrrg, I almost had duplicate info in the lathe section... fixed and added feed per rev.

Great. Thank you.
By the by, I was reading your NGCGUI stuff last night. Thank you for posting it up there.

I really love ngcgui and use it for 95% of all Ops on my lathe.

If I am understanding it correctly, it comes fairly close to a good conversational programming tool. I will definitely be playing with it a bit.
On a related note, I will very likely be pinging you for input/advice/assistance on this retrofit, given that you've been here before. :)
Will be ordering a bunch of stuff in the next week or so in effort to hit the ground running. Will start with the replacement stepper drivers and MESA cards.
After, I'll concentrate on getting the operator panel laid out and made.

Thanks.

Actually it is much more powerful than a conversational control. You can program many steps then concatenate them into a full program in a matter of minutes. My preferred way when doing multiple parts is to program each step, test it, make adjustments then concatenate them. You can also have multiple steps with the same subroutine by clicking on the new button. Say you have a part with 3 different OD's, you create 3 copies of the OD subroutine and enter the values for each one.
