This feature allows us to display between the lathe and rotary buttons.
Please note, this is a function only available on a Techno Router that has a 4th axis attached.

In order to achieve this, we need to:

* Go into ''Setup->system''.
* Check ''Lathe Option''.

Once the Lathe option is enabled, the buttons can be toggled by:

* Right clicking on the 4th axis buttons.
* Clicking on the ''lathe'' or ''rotary mode''.

Jtreacy: Modified solution, to remove wd40

A frozen axis is one that will not move for some reason.

=== Scenario ===

* '''Axis''' will not move via interface and '''cannot be moved manually'''.
* Receives "M-x Position error, no power to controller. Re-enable controller?", circular error
* Can jog other axes
* Customer is probably cutting wood or another material where a lot of debris is generated.

=== Problem ===

The ball nut is probably jammed-up with debris.

=== Solution ===

* WD-40
* Hit "E-Stop" and POWER DOWN machine
* Thread straw from WD-40 can into groove of ball screw and into the ball nut and blow it out with copious amounts of WD-40.
*Once the machine is moving again remove all the WD-40 with a rag and lubricate the machine. DO NOT leave the WD-40 residue on the ball screw.
