The contour of the tool post 2 (right–side spindle) on the lathe that has two
facing spindles is entered as follows.
(1) When the program zero point is at the workpiece end
When the coordinate of the zero point of the workpiece end face is
(0, 0), enter then so that the Z–axis runs in the opposite
direction for tool post 1.
The bar machining contours of outer and inner surfaces are entered
from left to right on the screen. The contour for end–face bar
machining is entered from outer surface to inner surface and to the
left.
