The tool geometry variables consist of several components (geometry, wear). The controller
computes the components to a certain dimension (e.g. overall length 1, total radius). The
respective overall dimension becomes effective when the compensation memory is activated.
How these values are calculated in the axes is determined by the tool type and the current
plane (G17/G18/G19).

General information about the tool types

Tools are divided into tool types. Each tool type is assigned a 3-digit number. The first digit
assigns the tool type to one of the following groups depending on the technology used:
Tool type

2xy
3xy
4xy
5xy
6xy
7xy
