You can input tools and their accompanying offset data directly into
the tool list or you can simply read-in existing tool data from outside of
tool management (see Sec. "Securing/reading-in tool/zero-point
data").
When you want to create a new tool, ShopTurn offers a range of
generally available tool types. The tool type determines what
geometry data you have to enter and how it is calculated.
Possible tool types
The rotary drill can be used for centric drilling and turning.
Install the new tool in the tool turret.
Select the "Tool list" softkey in the "Tools WOs" operating area.
Position the cursor on the location in the tool list that the tool
occupies in the revolver. The location must still be empty in the
tool list.
Press the "New tool" softkey.
Select the desired tool type and the cutting edge position using
the softkeys.
Using the "Additional" softkey, additional tool types or cutting edge
positions are made available to you.
