Did A little more testing.
With A button tool up to 0.4mm it works.
With A button tool more then 0.4 I get the same result.

Hi Rich

You wrote it exactly how I mean it.
If, how, when and how extensive is of course up to Art.

Hi Rich

With the parameters i mean first Of course the geometries of the tool but also what 2:cutdirection, 3:feedrate in what direction (when more directions are possible) and how much it can cut in what direction (for example if I use A groovetool 3mm it will cut 3mm in X direction but maybe it can cut at the most 0,5mm in Z direction).
Of course there can be more but to keep it Lazy I think not all parameters will be necessarily (like what material the tip is made of, for what material it is to be used, positive/negative angle, etc.)
We have to think of course A bit ourself but the first three I think are important to keep my tools and project from crashing.
Sorry if I sound demanding, I don't mean to, see it only as suggestions.

Hi Art

A was thinking (i do sometime), if i use a diamant of 30 degree (for example) and i would use the same feedrate in X an Z direction the tooltip Will not like to cut in X direction because the force on the tooltip is to big in relationship to the Z direction.
On the other hand, if i use a grove tool the force relationship is in the opposite direction.
What i try to say that it is almost unavoidable to give tools a parameter table (what the program can work with) if we want to use a tool in the most useful way.

Sorry if my post disturb your way of thinking but i try to give a realistic image of what i think that turning is about.

Hi Rich

I disagree that a tool have to cut on both sides.
I use toolholders with inserts like attachment and as you can see not all tools will cut on both sides.
It would be nice if you could select a part of the shape, choose a tools and tooldirection for that part.
This is just a suggestion, i have not any knowledge if it can be done.
As you can see i have repainted the toolholder to the one i use at the compony where i work
