    Setting tool offsets TL-1 (noob question)

    If you butted the “master” to the face of the chuck then subtracted the “master” then the face of the chuck is actually your tool length reference point. If this is the case then you can touch the new tools directly to the face for the offset.

    G76 thread cutting

    Thanks for the reply, from what i can find setting 73 is for the retract amount when using OD/ID roughing. I am not sure if it will work for a G76 threading cycle.

    Must have lathe tooling?

    Buy basic insert geometries, that way you can use different brands in the same holder. If it is a proprietary clamping system for the insert, you will be stuck with that brand.
