I was strongly counseled to think in terms of cutter movement, told
that it will make programming considerably easier. So I do, but since
I've not done it any other way, I don't know if it is easier or not.
I think in terms like cutter moving to +x, cutter moving to -y, etc.
It just so happens, the table is moving the opposite direction. A +X
cutter movement relative to the table is caused by a -X table movement
relative to the earth.
