Nothing. They are currently used for the display only.

And to further confuse things I don't think it matters which is front
and back angle after some speirments swapping them.

The front and back angles are used by Axis to display the tool in the
back plot. Run the Axis lathe sim and load each tool 1-9 to see how they
change.

If you run the Axis lathe sim you can look at the tools in the tool
table there is one defined for each orientation. The angles are for
display only. The orientation and radius are used to define the control
point. The control point and radius is used by G41/42 cutter compensation.
This is not working in my install of 2.7.0~pre6. I will try the sim today but
if it works it should work with my config as well I would think...

Hmm, are these angles used by Axis to display the correct geometry for the tool
tip in the backplot? If so, that doesn’t seem to be working (at least in
2.7.0~pre6). I have the Orientation and the Front/Back Angles set (angles,
perhaps incorrectly) but Axis shows the tool pointing up from
