Lathe Utility Tools

A new tool type called the utility tool will be used for utility processes such as move part and move tailstock in/out, which may require a tool position. The tool is a non-cutting place holder. It can represent a stop, probe, part gripper or dummy tool to help set up the part. Utility Tools are used with Utility Processes. Not all Utility Processes need a tool, but certain ones will, depending on your setup. Such a setup might be a bar feed with a stop.
