Hi,

I have a simple question ( I hope ) and because may Netscape ( or
onelist ) change space and tab, I use
"." as seperator. ( wow - these drawings look like s...:)


1: ( a mill )

.................V
----------------
\__________________\




2: ( a lathe )

-+
...| --------------<______
-+
....... \ .....\
----\___\ ------------



What is the axis for (1) and (2) ?

Where is zero ?
Do you have an absolute, and a relative zero ?
What do you do in G-codes ?

The thing is that I am just doing a little experiment, and I need
to know how the thing really moves.
I need to know if I have to use all 4 quadrants in the xy plane,
and what is + and - direction.
