    Approach and Toolside not compatible?

    When I try and do a lathe cutoff I keep getting this error, I've tried flipping tool sides and changing other parameters but I can't get it to work properly.

    Any ideas why? I've attached a screenshot with all the windows open for troubleshooting. Thanks in advance

    Try "OD" approach instead of "Front Face".
