Tool Orientation

[BMellor]

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

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

This should clear up which is Left hand or Right hand turning tooling:
