Hi!

It seems like a bug in the post processor We are working on a fix for the brother mill turn post in general! so it should get fix this problem.

Time beign you can fix the issue by making a post processor change 
Edit the post processor in any editor and find for the following section of code

  var angle = toRad(toolAngle) + toolOrientation;
  if (turret == 2) {
    angle = (Math.PI / 2) - angle; // turret 2 turns with A-axis = 90
  }
  angle *= turningAngle == 270 ? -1 : 1; // adjust A-axis tilt when turning in +Y

  if ((angle != 0) && !turningYAxis) {
    error(localize("A-axis turning is only allowed when turning along the Y-axis."));
    return abc;
  }

and modify the code like below 

  var angle = toRad(toolAngle) + toolOrientation;
  if (turret == 2) {
    angle = (Math.PI / 2) - angle; // turret 2 turns with A-axis = 90
  }
  angle *= turningAngle == 270 ? -1 : 1; // adjust A-axis tilt when turning in +Y

  if (section.getParameter("operation:turningMode", "") == "inner") {
    angle = 0;
  }
  if ((angle != 0) && !turningYAxis) {
    error(localize("A-axis turning is only allowed when turning along the Y-axis."));
    return abc;
  }

Save the post and post process now you should get the expected code.
