Upside down is correct. If you change the direction of feed then you
must change the rotation which means upside down tools. If you want
the same thread.

Or, cut with the tool on the back side of the work. Then its right side up
and easier to see what you're doing.

And then reaction force is pushing the cross slide down into the bed instead
of lifting it. My gibs can take cutting on the back side, but bind up if I
run the tool upside down.
