Lathe - tool offset in Y does not work

In the top menu there is option to home Y axis. Also, home all homes everything.

How can AXIS change behavior of the G-code intereprer? I thought they are independent and G43 should behave the same... I have to check if my Mill configuration can do offsets in the Y direction.

I do agree that seems weird.
I didn't search to see how far the LATHE=True switch manifests.

do you program a move in y after applying the offset?

Today I solved the problem. It was my own stupidity.

When G43 is called, the interpreter will apply the tool offset not in the next move but it applies the offset by components - when the individual axes move. Therefore, since my program does not contain any Y-axis movements, the correction was never applied. Instead, once G43 was called, the axis immediately changed its position to -offset.

To fix it, I modified my post-processor to produce tool change like this:
Code:
T1 M6 G43 G0 Y0
