Defining the tool

Overview
Depending on the entry for parameter Q560 you can either activate
(Q560=1) or deactivate (Q560=0) coupling for the interpolation
turning cycle.
Spindle coupling off, Q560=0
The tool spindle is not coupled to the position of the linear axes.
Q560=0: Deactivate the COUPLING TURNING
INTERPOLATION cycle!
Spindle coupling on, Q560=1
A turning operation is executed with the tool spindle coupled to
the position of the linear axes. If you set the parameter Q560 to 1,
there are different possibilities to define the tool in the tool table.
This section describes the different possibilities:
Define a turning tool in the tool table (tool.t) as a milling tool
Define a milling tool in the tool table (tool.t) as a milling tool (for
subsequent use as a turning tool)
Define a turning tool in the turning tool table (toolturn.trn)
