Hello,
Regarding the tool table setup, I am still a little confused about how to determine which side of the cutting tool makes for the front angle and which side makes up for the back angle. I do understand the tool position and center line angle; those seem pretty straightforward based on the Figure 3.33 in the LinuxCNC document.
I attached a drawing for a tool mounted on the lathe's cross slide. It's a normal tool mounted in front to the stock and cut from right side to left side. In this case, how to I determine which of A or B is the front and the other is the back so that I can figure out the frontangle and backangle? Also, the diameter of the tool is just simply the diameter of the cutting tip, does that sound correct?
