Boring drilling tool

[PhilipTrueman]

I have a all in one drilling boring tool that i thought might work.
I have a CNC lathe turret that works on a pawl and ratchet mechanism.
So the turret backs up onto the pawl.
The tool can only take downward loads.
The tool in the picture is designed to work upside down but that means that the force would be upwards which is wrong.
To make it work i would need the tool to be the right way up and pushing downwards and the spindle anticlockwise.
It doesn't look like you can orient the boring bar in the tool offsets page in that position.
The boring operation cuts on the opposite side away from the operator.
I think that i would need to write some specific G code to make the boring operation work.

These kind of EcoCut tools are available in R/L

I do use two offsets, one for drilling and one for turning

There is only one problem How can i assign two different offsets for one tool in a turret.?
Can't i just use one offset for a 16mm tool and when drilling set the cycle to boring and 16mm diameter and just use a feed rate?
I didn't know that you can buy these tools in left and right hand.
What brand of tool do you use?
I use APT tools but they are probably similar design, i am not sure about the TCT tips.
It looks like i am back to drilling and boring again.
Thanks Uwe

Example

in the tool lib you must use 2 Tools

T1212 EcoCut Turning
T1313 EcoCut Drilling

In the gcode you can use T1212 and T1213 = Tool12 with offset from Tool13

I can't assign 2 tools in my 8 tool turret with conversational programming.
What do these tools cut like drilling with a 16mm single tip tool on aluminium?

You can setup as a ID turning tool only also.

If the tool is D16mm simply drill at X16mm instead of X0
