Tool Table
The 300S can store the dimensional offsets for up to 99 tools (see
sample screen). When you change a workpiece and establish a new
datum, all tools are automatically referenced from the new datum.
Setting Tool Offsets Example 1: Using TOOL/SET
Before you can use a tool, you must enter its offset (the cutting edge
position). Tool offsets can be set using the TOOL/SET or LOCK
AXIS feature.
The TOOL/SET operation can be used to set a tool’s offset using a tool
when the diameter of the workpiece is known.
8 Touch the known diameter in the X axis (1).
