Re: Will swap axis work properly with an axis that has a slave?
Fusion turn posts only output radius mode. There is a setting for that in the menu, but the only option is radius. I believe it would be an issue if you output the code in mill mode, you would remove 2x the material. Maybe there is an option in Mach3 to select radius or diameter? I don't use Mach3 so have no idea about that.

I use M133 (Run Forward), M134 (Run Reverse), M135 (Stop) for my live tooling. These are Haas live tool control M codes as I recall. I'm pretty sure Mach3 would support these codes with a macro. You just need to assign the aux spindle as an axis or maybe an aux spindle. Not totally sure how that works in Mach3, I have the live tooling as an axis on my lathe. So the line of G code would read: P2000 M133 (Run Forward at 2000 RPM)
