Help me in setting up my Lathe..

In attached picture you see my machine setup..Its actually Milling machine with Indexer.. I will remove the Belt from the indexer gears and will install the Spindle motor to the protruded shaft... Now this will become the lathe..

As I generated the toolpath for one of the piece, I saw X and Z moves in G-code File.. Can some one give me an idea what will be the best arrangment for axis... My smaller axis is Y-axis and the larger one is X-axis..

Can you designate How I use it as a lathe? Following are some options:

1- My Z-moves (G-code One) as a machine Z-axis and the X-moves(G-code One) as the  machine X-axis
2- My Z-moves(Gcode One) as Machine Y-axis  and the X-moves as the Machine X-axis

Please some body give me an idea... It will be good for me  if somebody specify the G-code axes in the attached figure...

Thanks

My indexing work can be seen here.
