I'm pretty new to G-code programming and I have a question about G71 internal profiling using a gang tool lathe. My control is Fanuc 0i Mate TB.
All of the descriptions I've seen show a left hand profiling tool doing its internal cutting against positive X inside (+X away from me) surface. My question is whether it is possible to use a right hand profiler against the -X internal surface. Does G71 care about the profile being on the negative side of center?
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers,
Rich
