Measuring the tool (manually)

Overview
Note
For milling tools, both length and the radius must be determined; for drilling tools (see the
following figure), only length must be determined.
You can determine the tool length and radius and diameter by either measuring the tool or
entering the values in the tool list (see Section "Entering the tool offsets (Page 30)" for more
information).
By using the actual position of point F (machine coordinate) and the reference point, the
control system can calculate the offset value assigned to length 1 or the tool radius for the
selected axis.
