It was suggested that I also post this here in addition to the Tormach forum.
I couldn't find the original post so that I could add @mountaindew data that he posted for the TTS Saw Arbor. So I'm reposting all the TTS tool data I have to date in case someone needs it.

Sweet. thank you Matinski
I have to ask what will probably be an embarrassing question. I just started using TTS. What does this data mean?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Add this data as-is to the library tool holder dimensions field and SC will recognize and model the holder along with the cutter. This is beneficial for SC to identify an interference or obstruction in the tool path and creates a "real" world model.
This is good stuff.
The TC head appears to be discombobulated.

SprutCAM and I noticed this thread. Just to give everyone a heads up, I have spent the better part of today getting all drawings together for us to create all of the tool holders that Tormach offers. This holder library will come standard with SprutCAM. For those who currently have it, a future update will apply it, otherwise SprutCAM 11 it will come standard. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
That is fantastic if it comes out as an update!
Good news! Boy I sure hope they do something in 11 to make working with the tool library less maddening. I can't even begin to add up how many hours I have wasted in front of the computer trying to get it set up properly. Seems like it should be a simple thing but maybe I'm just a dummy.
This will be nice. I have definitions for all the tools I own. Missing were all the modular cutters and tools like the shear hog because I dont own these yet. Also I had not done a boring bar tool because I only have the arbor and no boring head yet.
Jake_Tormach if you look at the error examples I sent in past I think they should have a master tool library included. The library had a very large selection of tools around 800 i think that I input using data from an Enco tool catalog. It had exact dimensions of drill bits , end mills, and a host of other types of cutters like single point thread mills, arbor saw blades and dovetail cutters . This would be a nice addition to sprutcam also, and or you guys build a master tool list for all users to work from..
PS: Paul good luck with a decent tool library setu and use. To this day that part of sprutcam is by far the most error prone part I use. One of the reasons I built a large tool library and use it. so I dont have to fight it as much.
No, it is not just you. I have wasted at least as many hours learning to use it, which I have, but also trying to figure out why certain things don't work. As it is I know all the nuances so I can use it reliably for mill tools and holders, but even so every now and then it fools me with something.
Just wanted to let everyone know that if you subscribe to the SprutCAM America blog, you will have received an update on this. I created a tool library complete with all mill tools that Tormach sells, mill holders, as well as all lathe tooling. Both Mill and Lathe tooling come with part numbers to simplify finding replacements for tools. A tutorial video was also created to help maneuver through it and to show how to use the search function within a library. I hope you all get some use of out of it. If you find any inconsistent data within it, please send it to support@sprutcamamerica.com and I would be happy to update it.
Mill and lathe!
WOW,Have to look at this!
Could be the best thing ever for this program. As I mentioned above I built one years ago but I still don't understand what all the data fields are for when your in table view in tool editor and many of the tools can be defined differently with different results / errors depending on sprutcam version.
Want some ideas for additional aids for program users! Here is one and I have more.
A library of standard operation groups.
Example group called tap 8-32. consisting of a spot operation , drill tap size operation, tc tap operation, and a drill clearance operation all saved in the user operation part of program. Create one of these for each common thread type. Then user can create groups like this to speed setups because correct tools are defined and no research is required, just add to your program select holes and your on to next operation. I have these and it speeds setting up operations like this that require lots of operations and are same every time you do Like fbm only I find this way easy to edit and more consistent.
Cant find the download anywhere
Looking forward to this!
Found it on the Tormach site
Be sure to watch the video on how to use these files.

I should have put the link in the initial post. All machine definitions, post processors, and tool libraries are found under the support tab and then SprutCAM Support Center on the Tormach website. A quick link is www.tormach.com/sprut-support.
Thanks for link! for some reason I was not even seeing it on the Tormach web site either.
Please add the thread mills part number 34691 - 34697
I have 4 of these and would like to see how you define them!
edit:
I read now you did not include them! I don't understand reason for why?
Or PLEASE do a video on how to define this tool!
