Threaded View

Hello to all Artsoft Guru,
Couple years ago I purchased a CNC6040 in which I'm very please with it and Have managed to do some project with it and with some assistance from this forum.
Now I need to reduce the OD of a small aluminum tube and I do not what to pay some one to do it if possible, so what I'm asking is is it possible to set the A axis " in which I never used" to as a spindle,able to set a speed rotation therefore I can use the chuck of the A axis to hold the tube and use the main spindle to reduce and cut.
I hope I explained my need correctly and I apologies if I'm not good in technical terminology.
Hope someone can help
Thank you
