Location

Definition: location of the pot or spindle the cutting tool currently resides in.

If Location::negativeOverlap or Location::positiveOverlap is provided, the tool reserves additional locations on either side, otherwise if they are not given, no additional locations are required for this tool.

If the pot occupies the first or last location, a rollover to the beginning or the end of the indexable values may occur. For example, if there are 64 pots and the tool is in pot 64 with a Location::positiveOverlap of 1, the first pot MAY be occupied as well.
