I think this will be in the wizards? I got that fright as well the first time I ran the lathe as the toolchange position in the wizards are machine coords which seems strange to me. A mill I can see why but a lathe I would say work coords would be more sensible as you dont have to go to a set position on the lathe to change a tool like you would may on a mil. Usually you just want to clear the work and not much more so work coords are much easier to code for.
What I did was change the script in the wizards to use work coords rather than machine coords, that is something you could do, the other option, if you dont have limits is make sure you ref the machine just clear of the stock so you have room for the toolchnge then when it is asked for it will go to that position.
