Active tool shape
The geometry tool radius compensation (tool parameters 6 to 11) and the wear tool radius
compensation (tool parameters 15 to 20) are added together (geometry tool radius 1 is
added to wear tool radius 1, etc.) to arrive at the shape of the active tool.
2.3.8 Base dimension/adapter dimension tool length compensation
(tool parameters 21 to 23)

This is the case when:
• The tool and the tool adapter are measured separately but are installed on the machine in
• The tool is used in a second tool fixture located in another position (e.g., vertical and
