@utekcnc Thanks for posting your questions to the forum and apologies that there's been a delayed response.

 

Regarding question 1.

 

To define the tool holder dimensions, you can edit the Holder in the Tool Library. When you edit an operation or select a tool for a new operation, you can click on that tool and select it, then right click and edit the details of the tool.

In your file, it looks like you have that shank with set properly to .375" for the 3/8" bar diameter. You can also edit your insert here. Under Holder Style, you can change the degrees in this boring operation.

 

Regarding Question 2. 

 

You can change the Relief angle of the general turning tools, as seen in this image:

I hope that this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for being a valued member of the community!
