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.
By means of tool radius compensation, the product can calculate the path of the tool
center point. To do this, you must specify the Tool length and Diameter for every
tool.

parameters for each tool that is used. You can save a maximum of 99 tools in the
tool table.
