Good afternoon. I am having trouble creating a lathe tool to use on a CNC Lathe program. I've used this software for many many years and have made around 5k programs in it for our company, but admittedly, I have never made a lathe program. Our lathe machinists have always programmed using older software they liked and were used to. They have since retired and I am trying to learn how to make the programs in Fusion going forward.
I have attached a link below to the tool I am trying to replicate in the library, but I cannot seem to get it right and I am unsure how to make a holder for it too. Can any lathe aficionados help me out?

I think this is as close as you'll get. Edit needed to change the tip rad to 0.1mm, reuploaded file.
First setup a small custom tip.
Then setup the holder like this. I used the download from the page you linked to get the sizes. Note the cut width is from the centre line of the reduced section of the boring bar to the tip tangen and you can only set the size of the reduced section in Fusion (2.3mm). See attached file, tool is stored in the document's tool library.
