The direction is irrelevant. Feed is defined with F, not K. It's a lathe not a mill, even if EMC is confused between a lathe and a mill, the G18 in the file header should have given it a clue ;) Have a look at this G95 G1 X10 Z-2 F1 valid code or G95 G33 X10 Z-2 F1 invalid code - K word missing???? Should be NO different apart from the G33 line waits for the index pulse before moving.
