Eliptical Curve on Lathe
Is there a way to program an eliptcal curve on a Microturn.
We plan on doing pens and want to do a partial eliptical curve not just a taper or radius. Is there a G Code for this? or is this written code?
Thank you

I don't know of any G code which would produce a curve.

I would stick to drawing it with arcs - a series of joined arcs can give the same effect as an ellipse or curve.
I'm sure Steve has some lathe pen examples - I'll ask him to post them up here
