yes they all are. How do I work around it

What makes you think you need to? It sounds like everything is already configured.

I tried entering t0101 in my g code and i got
"request toool 0101 is not in tool table"

Unless you have configured otherwise a default installation (even on a lathe) uses the "M6 T01 G43" command to change tools and apply the offset. (with an optional H01 and maybe a G43.1 for luck).

T0101 looks in the tool table for tool 101. You probably don't have one.

It is possible to remap the T-word to perform lathe-like tool changes with wear offsets, take a look a the sim/axis/lathe-fanucy demo config

I can't even find the sim or axis folders.

any help on where to find them would be great.

You need to expand the "Sample Configs" tree

Ok found the files. Not exactly sure how they are used but found them.

Well, I was actually suggesting that you should try running the sim config and see if it does what you want.
