Entering the tool offsets

The tool offsets consist of the data describing the geometry, the wear and the tool type. Each
tool contains a defined number of cutting edge parameters dependent on the particular tool
type. Besides entering the tool offsets in the tool list, you can alternatively determine the tool
offsets by measuring the tool.
