So you would hope/expect that we allowed ID tools to be defined differently (for Tip Tangent points) than OD tools, when insert is set to neutral? I've been looking for a neutral insert aligned boring bar and coming up empty, could you link me one that you're using?

Done like this probably a bit more accurate as you measure the tip.
For ID and OD tools, I would also measure the distance on my optical comparator, touch off my tools and input the shift in my tool offsets.
