A lathe tool may just have added edges that complicate things but
it's still a circle tangent to the part geometry either way.

Actually a lathe is much easier only you and your methods make them
more difficult.

You must first calculate the tool's position then the offset to
the imagined point that's not there ... rather than just the
tool's position <g>.
