My discussion was to bring to light how Lathe tools are normally used so that a
database might keep them in mind when hashing out a protocol.
My 'complaint' about linuxcnc offsets for lathes was to point out it's
suboptimal, not that it wasn't possible. Using g43.2 to add wear offsets works
for
Wear offsets are useful when running production jobs. If you make 1000
parts and your insert wears 0.01, you simply put -0.01 in your wear table
and it shifts the offset by that much. Beats having to add/subtract from
your geometry, especially if you need to make a 0.0062 wear adjustment to
an x-12

;) So LinuxCNC was even improved.
I intend to upload a new LinuxCNC
