Program stop for a manual flip with no written stop

Op 2 is a flip. The program has an M0 and a comment that says 'flip.' It does not say which face goes against the stop. Two setters flip it two ways. Both look plausible.

The M0 comment should say the face and the stop in words: 'stop against face B, jaw on datum C.' A drawing callout in the comment beats a tribal flip.

A probe check after the flip, on a point that is wrong if the part is reversed, is the interlock. A comment alone will still be skipped on a Friday.

If the two orientations both sit in the vise, the fixture is ambiguous. Add a pin that only one orientation accepts.
