    Nakamura Tome

    Hello all, I bought a used Nakamura Tome Lathe from an auction a while back. We are using Mastercam to program and post with. When we post though the entire program is mirror reversed. We've tried everything but cannot find a solution. Can anyone help us? Thanks in advance.

    Who set the post & configured the machine in Mastercam ?
    Are you programming in the front quadrant, and using a rear turret ?
    Your geometry should be in the machine's X+ side of the axis, with Z- going towards the chuck.
    And your tools defined appropriately for the operation.
