Thanks for posting this tutorial it has been very helpful for me. is there a way to profile both ends of the part? For instance in your exchange you only profile the front portion, how to profile features that are on the opposite end?

The reason the X coordinates are negative could be that many CNC lathes have their tool post on the rear of the machine, hopefully there is an option to choose a front tool post. Thanks for the demo!
