Tool Offsetting
If you enter the diameter of the cutting tool you are using, you don’t have to
add or subtract the tool’s radius when you enter a preset. Just select which
edge of the tool you want to compensate for, and the
VRO 300M
automatically
adds or subtracts the tool’s radius.
Defining the Offset Direction
The symbols on the number keys indicate the offset directions—they
represent a top view of the tool and the part edge.
Whenever the readout is displaying an absolute or incremental position, the
number keys can be used for tool offset compensation. Just press the key
corresponding to the edge of the tool whose position you want to display.
