General Mach Discussion / Re: Correct orentation for X and Y

The only thing that matters is the relationship between each axis. Best described by the right hand rule.
Which end you call the front is just a user convenience thing.
Maybe you do work where it suits to call the axis with the longest travel X.
Maybe you stand at the "Red Button" end (see above) and want X axis left to right as you operate.
It makes no difference. So long as axis relationship adheres to the right hand rule.
