5.3.2 Preparing machining processes
Depending on the intended use, the machine setter (Setup) can prepare the unit
for a special machining process through configuration of the tool tables and preset
tables.
Creating a tool table
You usually enter the coordinates in accordance with how the workpiece is
dimensioned in the drawing.
You must specify the X tool coordinate and the Z tool coordinate of the turning tool
to be used. The Set tool data function allows you to calibrate your tools directly on
the lathe.
From the status bar, you can access the tool table, which contains these specific
parameters for each tool that is used. You can save a maximum of 99 tools in the
tool table.
