I need some help with tool orientation and the direction the swivel axis rotates. I have a test cube with a pocket on four faces. I would like to machine two of the pockets at -90 B and two at +90 B. I align the Z axis of the tool orientation normal to the pocket, and I am aligning the X axis to drive the direction of the B axis.
The first operation has the tool orientation below should be machined at -90 B and 0 C. This simulates and posts correctly.
The next operation looks like this and the tool orientation should be machined at +90 B and +90 C, but this is not the case. This simulates at -90 B and 180 C
Am I missing something here? This should just be a simple 3+2 operation.
