Tool Library for Novaturn

Hello,

Could someone post their tool library file file from vrturning for a Novaturn lathe for the standard tools - e.g. roughing, parting, parting, int. threading, centre drilling, drilling, ext. threading, finishing?

It would be handy to compare the angles and i sizes i have set against someone elses.

Many thanks,

David.

Hi,
Seems like no-one can help :?
Unfortunately, we don't often set the machines up fully loaded with tools, and would only be able to help you with a config for a couple of tools.

Thanks even the config for a couple of tools...

Not sure how much use these are :?: (the tools are all library defaults - just the offsets have been changed in order to cut our test part)
