Lathe macros - Facing bug?

G'day all,

This is a question about Andy's lathe macros. I am getting a slight angle / coordinated facing angle although I set zero angle in the cut parameters. 



Is this finger trouble on my part, or a possible bug?
Cheers,
Mark

I don't know what is going on here.
Is it possible that you have modified the G-code to support angled facing?.

github.com/andypugh/LatheMacros/blob/Py3_GTK3/facing.ngc

Says that angled facing isn't supported, and there is no indication of the #6 input being used in the standard G-code.

Hi Andy,
Sorry for the slow response. I dropped the ball on this as I was doing wood working .

This is the facing.ngc file I am using. I have not modified it at all. I just noticed I have both a "lathemacro.ini" and a "lathemacros.ini" (plural) in my machine directory. Could that be the issue?
Cheers,
Mark

I don't see anything in 'facing.ngc' that could cause a simultaneous move in X and Z.

Could you put a debug message inside of your 'facing.ngc' and run that macro again. Just to be sure that that is the actual file being executed (You should see a info message popup in the gmoccap gui).

Something like adding '(MSG, Executing facing.ngc)' to the start of the sub:

Thanks. I added the message, which displayed, so that is the .ngc being loaded. 
I had just run a facing cut which had a taper. Ran it after adding that msg, and had no taper. I will need to see what the error correlates with.
