In my lathe(s) I have VDI tooling.
Each tool settles only on its holder, and each tool is numbered. So I
will always use the same tool without changing offsets or angles.
Each time I need a new tool, I buy a new holder (VDI) so that my tool
library gets larger. This is expensive but is very effective at the long
run, due to time AND to avoid tool collisions. I even do this for drilling
where I keep each commun drill in each holder.
Bottom rule is that a lathe collision is very nasty and make you think:
"Why didn't I use the manual one ..."
By the way, I sell toolholders :-)
