Just guessing here, but it sounds like your talking about the table
movement being opposite of the arrow keys. That is EXACTLY
correct. The arrow keys are showing direction of the SPINDLE
relative to the a spot on the table. Convention is to think of the
spindle moving and not the table. I know this takes some getting
used to, and many of us have been there done that!
