"Reserved" means that this tool parameter on the 840D/810D is not used (reserved for
expansions).
Milling cutter types 111, 120, 121, 130, 155, 156 and 157 3D are given special treatment for
face milling by evaluating tool parameters (1 - 23).

2.3.2 Tool type (tool parameters)
Meaning
A 3digit number is used to define the tool type. The operator/machine setter/programmer
selects the tool type. This determines further components such as geometry, wear and tool
base dimensions in advance. The tool type has no meaning in the grinding and turning tool
groups. Non-listed numbers are also permitted, in particular with grinding tools (400-499).
