Reversing Spindle for individual grooving operation

Post by ChrisMe »

On CNC 12 Lathe is there a way to reverse the spindle for a single grooving operation? I want the spindle to spin normally for all the operations apart from one where I need it to spin in the opposite direction. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Where do I enter that in the CAM menu?

That is for g-code.

Intercon is using the direction from the tool lib.

If you set a tool to CCW it will turn this direction in Intercon also.
