Measuring the reference tool

For every tool used, you must determine the position of the cutting edges (for X
and/or Z) in relation to the machine coordinate system or to the workpiece preset.
To do so, you must first define a tool based on which all further parameters of the
other tools are calculated. In this example, the finishing tool will be used as the
reference tool.
