I've been getting things up and running with the NovaTurn even though all I have is a very old version of the Denford programming software. Problem I have is when I write a program for screw thread cutting it seems to run only a section of the process at a time, if I hit stop and play then it contin...

And......It's working!

Thanks to everyone for their help.
Any advice on where to buy tools would be greatly appreciated! I need a boring tool and parting tool.

Thanks Martin. I did that from the program on the CD.
I've just found the download on the Denford site so I'll try that next.

If you open up VRTurning & then open up the Setup Parameters (password is denny) you will need to change the mint file in communications for the Novaturn NS. It should read C:\Program Files (x86)\Denford\VRTurning\NovaTurnNS.mnt & not C:\Program Files (x86)\Denford\VRTurning\NovaTurn.mnt . Thanks, ...

Thanks Pete! I ran mint manager and it seems everything is fine. I did notice on the serial plate the machine is Novaturn NS and so updated everything to suit. Although it seems as the machine is connecting the software is unstable and it will neither home nor jog. I have noticed that the X axis ste...

I've been given the task of getting an old Novaturn up and running. When I initiate the software it tells me the machine isn't connected yet if I open Novamill and select the novamill machine I can make the lathe jog. This proves there's a communication between the machine and the computer and all i...

Well.....That has worked and the machine is now running. I'm using vectric aspire so I just need to see the best way to output the G code

Thanks very much!!

Thanks Martin, I'll try that today.

Update...
After a lot of messing about the z and y axis have homed though not consistently. When I try and home on the x axis the bed goes in the wrong direction.
I’m using vr version 5

Hi all, I've just been given the task of getting a Denford Novamill up and running. The machine won't home any of the axis. I exposed the limit switch on the y axis and when the stepper motor started it's whining I pressed the switch and the axis moved. I have let the homing time out once and that g...
