Defining lathe tool holders - Use your own clearance angles?

[colton_m]

Hello,

I am setting up a lathe tool library, hoping someone can help with a problem I have encountered:

I am trying to define a Seco 35 degree turning tool (SVLBR-16-3).

The problem I encounter is when I define the holder. Under style I want to select > L (-5 deg. side clr.) However when I click this, the holder geometry variables update so I can't input a back clearance angle "E".

If I pick L (-3 deg. side clr.) I can input the correct back clearance angle to match my holder, but then the front clearance is wrong.

I am familiar with creating custom tools and can use that to get what I want, however it would be nice to skip drawing every single tool. I use four different radius inserts in this holder and would like to avoid drawing so many custom tools. This same problem goes for some boring bars I have.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you can't get it quick with parametric. Go with custom. 

If you have 2019, make it 3d!
