Is there a way to change the machine directional movement to match the arrow direction of the keyboard (jog only)
thanks

You can change it from Config menu Then System Hotkeys. However it should be set right as it is the direction of the tool in the work that you should be thinking of rather than the table direction but entirely up to you if you feel the need to change

There sure is.
Config / System Hotkeys is the place to go to make your choices but remember that the usual convention is that jog is tool direction relative to the work not table direction.

thanks for the info.....just an aside...my right arrow should move the X axis to the right (right)? they are just opposite now.

Just a note: it should move the TOOL to the right not neccessariily the table. It depends on what type machine it is as to which way it moves to be correct. For example Bed/Bridge mills are backwards to knee mills.
Just a thought, (;-) TP

this is a router that I built...I have set the origin to the 0-0 at the front left corner (facing the machine). all other axis work as expected and now so does the X ... thanks again
