Tool Offset
Tool offsets are described in detail in the Operator's manual. See the "Tool
Nose Compensation" section for specific instructions on Radius, Radius Wear,
Taper, and Tip.
Tool – The current tool number.
X Offset – The X-axis offset for the current tool.
X Wear – The amount of tool wear, in the X-axis for the current tool.
Z Offset – The Z-axis offset for the current tool.
Z Wear – The amount of tool wear, in the Z-axis for the current tool.
Radius** – The tip radius of the current tool.
Radius Wear – The amount of wear in the radius.
Taper – Compensation value for part deflection.
Tip** – Tool tip direction will be a value of 0-9.
NOTE: Tool offsets are required for running full G-code programs; they
are not required by any of the single feature part programs.
**Must be entered to use Cutter Compensation; see Operator's manual for Cut-
ter Compensation information.

Tool offsets must be set before an automatic operation can be run. Enter the
values for each tool used on the Tool Offsets screen. The tool offsets will be
referenced when that tool is called in the automatic operation. Refer to the
Operator's manual for more information on tool offsets.
On each of the following interactive screens the user will be asked to enter
data needed to complete common machining tasks. When all data has been
entered, pressing "Cycle Start" will begin the machining process.
Values entered must be measured from the centerline of the spindle.
The following is an example of an Automatic Mode screen and the definitions of
the variables that will need to be entered.
