    CNC Lathe - Setting Y value of cutter

    On a 2-axis CNC lathe, if there is no misalignment, the tip of the tool passes through the spindle center, when advanced radially inward. We do not expect misalignment on a new machine. The turret design ensures this. Even when the tool is inverted, its position with an equal-thickness spacer...

    Mirror in Y-Axis issue- Fanuc

    This M code for mirroring is MTB-defined. Please read their manual to find out if you missed something. Fanuc uses G51.1 for mirroring. For example, G51.1 Y100 would cause mirroring about XZ plane, passing through Y100. It can be canceled by G50.1 Y100
