Bore feature tool selection

The default selected tool for turning has:

  • Lathe - Boring tool type.
  • The proper orientation for the type of cut. If you have a Back tool post the orientation is preferred. For Front tool posts, the orientation is preferred.
  • An 80 diamond is preferred but the default selected tool must have an included tip angle of at least a 55. You can override the tooling selection with a tool with a narrower diamond insert, but such a tool is not automatically selected.
Note: Tip radius, tool length, and insert grade are not taken into account.
