I don't you will see this changed until or after the new machine definitions and simulation has been released. Most cnc lathes have the tool on the opposite side of the spindle from where you stand. So they've gone with that. I personally don't see it as a big deal. Sat, 26 Sep 2015 02:24:33 GMT scottmoyse 2015-09-26T02:24:33Z
