    Mirror image C-axis.

    I guess Mirror image for x axis are used for dubbel turret lathes, but if I set mirror image for c-axis (Offset/settings page down). would this make it able to produces both a left and right version of a flange with the same program??

    Hmmm... I never used that... It is just as easy to copy the program and changed your Z-Axis sign (if you're talkin the main is Z- and the sub is Z+) If you are using G2/G3, then just change those to to oposite also.

    You could also use this part of th e program as a sub program with macro variables... loading it with a G65 P(sub program #) and take care of it that way too...
