* The additional parameters that are activated are needed to support the requirements of the added spindle and turret that distinguish a mill/turn machine from a regular milling machine.
Spindle
Main is normally the lathe spindle.
Sub is normally the milling spindle.
Turret
Five Turrets for holding tools are available. They are Rear, Front, Saddle, Main, and Rail.
X Gauge Length
X Gauge Length is available when you are performing Mill/Turn or Lathe operations.
X Gauge Length is the distance, parallel to the X axis, from the center of the turret to the tip of the tool.
