I have a Microturn 2000 and VRTurning Version 1.16.2.425. I was turning a piece of aluminum stock and took to big of a cut now my feed rate is 0% and when I try to turn a piece my spindle starts but the tool does not move. Do you have any suggestions to what the poblem is.

Thanks

Yes, it homes just fine. It turns out that the feedrate knob on the front of the lathe was turned down. All I had to do was turn the knob up and that solved my problem.

Thanks for the help.
