Calling the tool data
The lengths and radii of your tools must first be entered into the
TNC's tool table (see previous page).
Before you start workpiece machining, select the tool you are using
from the tool table. To call the desired tool, move the highlight to the
tool, select the axis with the corresponding soft key and press the
soft key Tool Table.
The TNC then takes into account the stored tool data when you
work with tool compensation (e.g., with hole patterns).
