Hello all,
I am a mill guy and now making my way to the lathe... more specifically a NL1500 from Mori-Seiki with Fanuc style control.
I would like to hear from lathe guys about the advantages and disadvantages of using M3 with right-handed cutters versus M4 with left-handed cutters? It seems to me that using M4 would be a more rigid set-up because the pressure is applied towards the base of the machine... but I am sure there is more to it than this.
Thank you.
Max
