OK, that is a totally different setup. Yes, that would be
swapping the axes around, and I'm not so clear on the signs,
either.

I have turned several CNC parts on my mill over the years, as my
lathe is not CNC'ed. Mostly turning ball ends on things because
I don't have a bell turning fixture. The code looked just like
it would for a real lathe program.
