    Also, The tool max length I can use is around 68mm long. Any longer and it catches on the Z axis coverplate. The manual indicates that 12mm tools are max size and on centre. Thing is, they are all too long. Is it common to cut them shorter? Even boring bars are typically too long and as they cannot protrude out the back, need to be shortened?

    I also need to work out the CW and CCW. For normal turning, the lathe spins 'backwards' as the turret feeds from the top but for drilling you need to spin different direction. How / where would you set this?
