I was just setting up to make some ER-16 tool holders on my lathe. I'm using a Phase II QCTP and four tools for this job. TurboCNC is great for this stuff.
On a mill, if you have a tool length sensor, you can have TurboCNC touch off within a program and set your offset on the fly. Can't see this really working on the lathe though with two dimensional offsets.
Wayne, that ganged tooling looks sweet for a production environment. How do you do height adjustment? I mostly do one offs on my hobby lathe, so the Phase II is fine.
