It is more of an indexer than a lathe unless you can spin it at high RPMs and use turning tools in your milling spindle. Maybe you can but I doubt it on a machine like that.

 

To use tool orientation you create an initial setup. This would be with Z up. You would create a [3D Adaptive] operation with no tool orientation. You would then create a 2nd operation with tool orientation checked and with Z being 180 degrees from you original setup (you may have to flip your other axis as well). When you post this out Fusion sees the difference between the initial setup and the tool orientation. This tells fusion to rotate the part 180 degrees (or 90 or whatever you set in tool orientation).
