Stuper New Question

 So playing with Lathe and on my way to something good I think :head scratch:  , I have some tool library questions ... Way different than milling I see. I have some internal profiles almost bowl or cone shaped and got some new tooling :) ..... BUT no idea whats next - I am not sure where to start the process of designing these bars, how to put them in the library as they must not be standard library Iscar tooling. 

Bar #s

A20R SVJCR - 11

A16R SVJCR - 11

INSERT # VCGT-221-AS    IC20 

I probably should have just searched this topic but we will see ...... Thanks in advance ...

Take a tool close and then use the lathe library to save tool to level. Then download the DXF from the ISCAR website. Then move to the correct position like the tool you used from the library. Then use the level to define the tool. Now go through the steps of defining you tool and you should be good to go.
