10.5 Selecting a tool
The currently selected tool is displayed on the status bar. Here you can also access
the tool table where you can select the tool you want to use. The associated tool
parameters are applied automatically.
The product provides a tool radius compensation feature that enables you to
directly enter the workpiece dimensions as specified in the drawing. During
machining, the product will then automatically display a traverse path that is
increased (R+) or decreased (R–) by the tool radius.
The setup engineer (Setup) may have already made the settings in the
tool table.
