Otherwise,
On SINUMERIK 840D/810D, only tool parameter 6 (tool radius 1) is used as standard from
tool parameters 6 to 11. For 2D TRC with contour tools, additionally to the tool parameters
10 and 11, a minimum or maximum limit angle can be defined for the cutting edge
compensation when using multiple tool cutting edges.
Please refer to the following documentation for information about entering tool shapes
(radius for tool radius compensation) in tool parameters 6 to 11 and how these are
calculated by tool radius compensation in the three geometry axes:
