Mirroring only one of the
X
or
Y
axes will cause the cutter to move along the
opposite side of a cut. In addition, if mirror imaging is selected for only one axis
of a circular motion plane (G02, G03) then they are reversed, and left and right
cutter compensation commands (G41, G42) are reversed.
Note: When milling a shape with XY motions, turning on Mirror Image for
just one of the X or Y axes will change climb milling to conventional milling
and/or conventional milling to climb milling. As a result, the type of cut or
finish may not be what was desired. Mirror imaging of both X and Y will
eliminate this problem.
