We had an old MoriSeiki that flopped the X-axis

That is weird it doesn't really make any sense but that is what I heard. Though the x axis, I'm not sure how that would work, like x minus would make a bigger part?

[Billet Sean]

yep

All our Mori's are X- and our Mazaks are X+
For some reason it's common for the X on lathes.

Zs pretty much seem to be standard on lathes and machine centers.

I learned on a Citizen 8 years ago, never touched one since, but if I recall, all the Z values in the part were positive,
