Machine simulation - Tool shown 90° to toolpath

So I have noticed this only with the Mazak post processor- on the I-600 from the machine library,

the toolpath will sometimes simulate with the tool 90° to what it should be, the stock is cut correctly, and the posted code appears to be correct but the tool axis is all wrong in the simulation.

Two separate chamfer toolpaths here, using the same tool orientation settings.

see screen cast for the behaviour shown in Sim

 

Unfortunately I cannot share this example Publicly
