Tool numbers / Tool names

is its tool number.

The tool number 0 is automatically defined as the zero tool (empty
spindle) with the length L=0 and the diameter D=0.

Sign for the length difference

L

If the tool is longer than the T1 tool:

Δ

L > 0 (+).

If the tool is shorter than the T1 tool:

Δ

L < 0 (–).

The tool length offset can be entered as a known value, or use the
Teach

soft key. The MILLPWR
