implement 8-tool turret on lathe

Thanks a lot!!!!.

I was reading the 2.7 documentation, I will leave it like that for now and I will update later !!!.
the X axis is fine !!. it's just visual.
I'm glad that 2.8.x has an easy solution

Thanks a lot  BigJognT - andypugh !!!!!!

You can put in g code file:
G10 L2 P0 R180 (Rotate around Z axis, 180 for back tool, R0 for front)
I use front and back tools in the same program with gang tooling.

Although there is a bug in 2.8 that requires a work around.

Is that bug listed in the bug tracker? 

I already have the X axis working fine.

But I noticed that the  X JOG keys are reversed.

Can it be reversed? or do I have to change the direction of rotation of the motor?

Thank you!!

Is it actually wrong? Jog + should move further away from the spindle axis.

jog-X-reversed manual movement

the x-axis works perfect, the coordinate system is now well defined. only the manual movement of jog X was reversed
