I'm working on a post for running a 90° head in a HAAS mill.
Luckily Haas has a great video and guide as to how the g-code output should look.

I've gotten my post to put out code that makes sense to me compared to what Haas has on their website. It goes to the X,Z coordinate as i expect, but then instead of pecking in the -Y direction, it decides to peck in the Z direction as it normally would without the G18 command.
I am pasting the output from my post below.
Can someone please let me know what i have wrong, or if there is a machine setting somewhere that might need to be changed to enable pecking in a non-Z direction?
