In the case of tools with more than one cutting edge, a separate set of
offset data is assigned to each cutting edge. You can create up to 9
cutting edges for each tool.
In the case of ISO programs (e.g. ISO dialect 1) you must specify an
H number. This corresponds to a particular tool offset set.

Then select the "Edges" and "New edge" softkeys.
Instead of the input fields for the first cutting edge, the offset data
input fields for the second cutting edge are displayed.

Select the "Delete edge" softkey if you want to delete the tool edge
offset data for an edge.
You can only delete the data for the edge with the highest edge
number.
By selecting softkey "D No. +" or "D No. –", you can display the offset
data for the edge with the next higher or next lower edge number
