    Default Repeat lathe tools

    With using Mastercam v9 (lathe) how do you seperate the same tool. Say I'm using tool1 offset 1 to face and cut the od but, I want the tool to go home in between facing and the od. Is there a parameter setting or do I have to go into the post?

    If im reading correctly then all you need to do is continue
    creating toolpaths if your tool is in separate spots in your
    ops. manager it will post in that order.
