How do you expect to touch off neutral tool holders for OD? Currently in Production, we're given this:
Been awhile since setting up a tool like that but I think when setting the tool on the lathe I've touched off using the corner of the tip then moved the Z half the measured width of the tool and set the tool Z zero. Done like this probably a bit more accurate as you measure the tip.
I guess the thing about boring tools is you can't see what's going on so having the point how it is now you you see the maximum Z depth in the code and on the control as it's cutting. With the new tip tangent you need to remember the tool will be 2 or 3mm deeper. Pretty much everything I do is a one off and I drill the holes manually with the tail stock so the first one is always a bit tense!
