Lathe tool not listed in options within Fusion 360 CAM

[smokediver576]

Morning folks,

So what do you do when the tool you need to use is not listed in the options within F360's settings?

Trying to program for this tool used on a Tormach Slant Pro lathe. The 75 degree approach seems to be the issue. Anyone use this tool with their SP? Just don't want to crash something. I like the idea of being able to use my sides of the inserts once the tips wear out.

I would like to know the answer to this exact same question.

Is there a reason you cannot create it as a new turning tool? I went and looked at them, since I use a mill, and they seem fully customized. I played around with the holders and inserts. Not really my thing since it is lathe but now I'm curious if there is something preventing you from designing the tool or if you have not done one? (select tool- upper right, new turning tool icon...) I've made a few for mill bits and they worked easily.
