Hi! I have a question, how to program "bi-directional turning"? What I mean by that is removing stock going both directions instead of doing only "right to left" standard cycle?

Hi, does anyone know how to reverse the tool turret to the front side in Solidworks CAM CNC single TURNING?

SW CAM Pro is following a standard rear turret machine. This is how it is designed. The X positive direction is away from the operator. However on a Toolroom lathe or some Gang tool lathes the X positive is towards the operator. Shot answer is the view is just flipped do not mirror the tool path to the front the will output -X values.
