Boxford TCL 125 Lathe setup

So i have managed to get it full setup not, just need to finalise some things

EMC thinks my tool is coming from the bottom up and not from top down..

It gets the right to left bit right.. any idea how to change this so the tool is coming from the top?

Also, i post processor for Dolphin/emc2 lathe... cannot find any anywhere, anybody have a link

Cheers

Stu

Do you mean you want the tool in the preview to go up when the diameter gets bigger?

No. On emc, the preview screen shows the tool coming from the bottom. I've managed to get my actual tool going from the top (the right way) when running the program but the preview is still going from the bottom... its just confusing things LOL

How are you controlling the turret? I have a TCL 160, which replaced the factory boards. Customised Mach3 to get the turret working, but would like to experiment with EMC2, but till I can fix the turret index, no point?
