The lathe is a QT-8 T2 control.

I've tried several times to program L-R cutting with a L-R tool to clean out areas left over with a R-L tool. I always get a "reverse contour " error or "reverse shape error". I've just been using a groove tool to get the job done. Is there a trick to getting a T2 to do L-R OD turning?
 
Make sure the tool is described correctly in the tool data.
Check your Z start point.
Are you using bar out or the highlighted bar out?
Someone at some point in time may have screwed with one of the parameters. Try to get it to turn a straight line L-R.
We have a QT-10 T2 I'd be glad to double check anything for you as far as programming.
PM me if you still need help.

I'll try that, I was using the un- highlighted bar out I think.

Pretty sure I have the tool described correct.

I'll give 'er a try, get back to you

Thanks for the response
