TurnMate: CNC Lathe

Plan, calculate, preview, and check CNC turning work—from part profile and tooling to G-code output.

TurnMate is a practical CNC turning workflow tool for machinists, CNC programmers, process engineers, and manufacturing students.

Plan a turning job, define the part profile, configure the machine and tooling, calculate common turning geometry, generate G-code, preview toolpaths, and review potential risks before going to the machine.

KEY FEATURES

• Turning projects Keep the stock, part profile, machine, tools, operations, generated programs, and measurement corrections together in one project.

• Lathe calculators Calculate arc tangent points, tapers, chamfers, triangles, threads, grooves, material weight, surface finish, and common turning parameters.

• CNC programming assistance Generate useful turning program results from machining inputs. Review, copy, and export the resulting G-code for your workflow.

• Profile and toolpath preview Review the part profile and simulated toolpath to help identify profile input issues, stock allowance concerns, and potentially unsafe rapid moves.

• G-code and risk checks Scan for common program issues, tool interference, invalid geometry, and machining risks before the program reaches the machine.

• Machine and tool setup Save common machines, controllers, tools, materials, and starting parameters for faster repeat work.

• Shop reference tools Quickly look up G and M codes, alarm codes, fits and tolerances, material parameters, and turning references.

BUILT FOR

• CNC lathe operators • Machinists and CNC programmers • Manufacturing and process engineers • Mechanical manufacturing students • Anyone who needs fast turning calculations on the shop floor

TurnMate is a programming and calculation aid, not a substitute for machining judgment. Generated parameters and G-code are for reference. Always verify the result against your machine, controller, tooling, workholding, material, and setup. Perform a simulation or dry run before cutting.
