8.1 Tool database
You usually program the coordinates for the contour by taking the
dimensions from the drawing. To enable the control to calculate
the slide path, compensate the cutting radius and determine the
proportioning of cuts, you need to enter the tool length, cutting
radius, tool angle, etc.
The control can save up to 250 tool data records (optionally 999);
each tool data record is identified by an ID number (name). The
tool list indicates the maximum number of tool data records and
the number of data records found. For each tool, you can enter an
additional tool description which makes it easier to find the tool
data again when needed.
The Machine mode of operation has functions for determining the
tool length dimensions.

Wear compensation is managed separately. This allows you to
enter new compensation values at any time, even during program
run.
You can also assign a cutting material to the tools, which gives
you direct access to the technology database (feed rate, cutting
speed). This saves you a lot of time since you only need to
determine and enter the cutting data once.
Tool types
Tools for drilling, recessing, finishing, etc., have very different
shapes. Therefore, the reference points for determining the tool
length and other tool data also vary.
The following table provides an overview of the tool types.
