I deal with it by ignoring it. There's no climb-milling issue on a
lathe. Look into Moglice


What about facing?


The free play on my lathe is 0.052" on the cross slide, 0.038" on the
compound. The compound at 29 degrees would be more likely to slip
forward and dig in if the tool had a large top rake, but I know better
than to grind it that way. A top rake of 10 - 20 degree doesn't cause
problems. I tried 60 degrees once after seeing it in an old book and
did have trouble.
