CNCL, a Teach-In application, gives a CNC controlled conventional lathe the ability to perform CNC tasks without CNC programming or the need for a CAD or CAM program. CNCL makes it easy to precisely turn a radius or a taper, grind drills and mills, broach a gear, knurl (cut) a shaft, do any pitch (high precision) threading, turn a spur gear or pulley cutter, simply by setting a few parameters. No complex calculations needed, all you need are the dimensions of the part to turn. The built-in tool change and tool library let you select a tool and continue without the need for adjusting positions. Change from Metric to Inches by a click on a button. Backlash compensation is implemented, no need to fit ball screws. For repetitive tasks, a record and play-back function is available. The recorded GCodes can be saved for use on other types of controllers. A manual is built-in and can be printed.
CNCL is optimized to run on a small 7" touch screen (tablet). The supported controllers are GRBL, GRBL-L, GRBL-L-Mega, grblHAL, Grbl_ESP32, or compatibles, free open source controllers based on affordable (Arduino) hardware. Check the hardware compatibility list for more information. The controller can be connected by USB, Bluetooth or a (Wi-Fi) network.
If you ever wanted to start with CNC, this is the easy and affordable way to do it.
CNCL is also provided as a 30 days trial version. The trial version is a full version without limitations. Check the License Information task for more information.
CNCL is available from the Microsoft Store.

- I can’t get a new version released by Microsoft that has a trial option and usage license options. To avoid wasting any more time I have decided to drop the one year and permanent usage licenses. All current and new owners of an app license can use the app without limitations.
- Added an Engraving task for engraving dials Mono space font, orientation left to right or Clockwise, limited characters 0123456789.,-+/ "°Ø iI| ┤├ For this task there is an instruction video. Select the Engraving task, press the help button and press the video icon. This will take you to the video.
- Added a Form tool type for use in the GearCutter and TBelCutter turning task
- Added a Tool selection option for the Grinding task.
- Added a repeat option for the Grinding task when there is only one flute to grind.
- Added Start X and Home X positions to the Grinding task.
- Added an instruction video for the knurling task
- Changed the line spacing calculation in the Knurling task to make the spacing independent of the knurling Angle.
- Changed the rotation in the Knurling task to CCW to see the knurled lines better.
- Changed the check for using a preferred tool for that task. An unpreferred tool has to be approved at every tool change for the selected task.
- Disabled disconnecting when the app is suspended to avoid position loss when the app is used on a tablet.
- Fixed TNRC for Chamfer inner turning not working any more.
