Tool 9999

Tools which do not typically live in the lathe are referred to in the Fusion 360 Tool Library as tool number 9999.

You must load the tools into the machine in slots which make sense and will not cause a collision or crash. Update the tool number in Fusion 360 by right clicking on an operation which uses the tool, selecting "Edit Tool" and then change the tool number in the Post Processor tab. If you forget to update this value the post processor will throw an error and not output valid code.

Becuase tools are loaded into the machine manually there is no value in having tool numbers assigned specifically for each tool - the spot it occupies on the tool turret will vary depending on the job and the setup you are using. By having the tool number set to 9999 the post will remind you when you forget to update the tool number value, avoiding a potential crash.
