I have an Ikegai AZ20X (1985) with a Fanuc 6T control. I do not know if there is a G-code or M-code to reverse the direction of the turret tool head. I know that M-codes are machine specific, but I didn't know if anyone had some more experience than me with programming on this machine and control. Any help would be appreciated.

I've had no luck with the M17 & M18 codes, but I haven't tried an M16. Thanks for the info.

Motter,
It is M12. That reverses the NEXT tool change.

Thanks for the tip, cacrawfo. It's been awhile since I visited the site. I'll give that code a try on Monday. Thanks again.
