For the preparatory actions in manual mode, tool selection and spindle control are both
performed centrally in a screen form.
In addition to the main spindle (S1), there is another tool spindle (S2) for powered tools.
Your turning machine can also be equipped with a counterspindle (S3).
In manual mode, you can select a tool on the basis of either its name or its revolver location

number. This means that if you enter "5", for example, and no tool with the name "5" exists,
the tool is selected from location number "5".

the machining position and then comfortably install a new tool.
