I have been looking at quick turn tool set up and our lathe tooling set up. Our technician reckons we have tool one and that it has a left hand kink rather than a right hand one as stated in the tooling menu ?
As the chuck rotates anti clockwise we have put the tooling tip in so that the workpiece is cut by the top of the tip. Therefore we have put tool 3 in so that we can face off the end of the bar
Can you confirm for me which way round tools 1 & 3 go please

Re: Tool Orientation
All the tools in the turret should be inverted (the tip downward)
Tool 1 will be the turning tool and will angle towards the chuck
Tool 3 will be angled away from the chuck and is used for back turning
Watch the following video to see the tool positions and orientation

Re: Tool Orientation
