OneCNC XR7 Lathe Versions

The Lathe Parting cycle
This function has been updated and accurately allows for a finish cut with a combined chamfer or radius on the part edge.
This allows for part off and the part being parted can have a chamfer or radius on the back of the part performed with the same parting tool. 

The lathe tool file supports the Trigon shape tip
OneCNCXR7 Lathe versions now supports the trigon shape tip for turning and facing.

OneCNCXR7 Lathe Tool Holders
The lathe install now has added tools in the turn face for L and R holders that include the trigon tiip shape.

These new holders will only appear in new application installations.
If you have just the standard supplied tools installed in your library with no added tools or holders and you wish to have the updated tool file do the following.
Close OneCNCXR7 Lathe go the the settings directory of lathe and there should be a default library folder just rename the files in the default tool file directory and OneCNCXR7 will then automatically install the new tool file when you next open and use lathe.

There are other adjustments and corrections to the nose tangent and tip centre settings of the triangular tip

SPECIAL NOTE

OneCNCXR7 lathe can support custom shape tips but in each case the tip will graphically only be represented as a diamond shape with the leading and trailing angles as set by the  the custom settings.

This is so the user does not need to create the tip shape for the custom angles.
Although we have now added the trigon shape it was not necessary to actually have the actual trigon shape to use that tip because it has the same leading and trailing angles as the diamond roughing tip

All that OneCNCXR7 needed was the leading and trailing edges of the tip to create the tool paths.
The rest of the shape is only visual representation which has no actual effect on the tool path itself.
The reason for mentioning this is because many users manufacture their own tools and create their own brazed on tips ground to specific custom angles.

In these cases the tip will be represented by a diamond shape with leading and trailing angles as set in the tool library description.
Users need to be aware that this is available as custom settings.
When creating custom tips the orientation is guided by the holder so all the user needs to do is select a holder that will give the correct orientation and create the custom tip accordingly.
The name in the library for the holder and or custom tip can then be named accordingly.
