Calculating The Tool Compensation - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

Tool cutting edges
Each tool can have up to 12 cutting edges (D1 to D12). The first cutting edge (D1) is set up
automatically when a new tool is loaded to the tool offset memory. Other cutting edges (max.
11) are set up consecutively and contiguously using the "New cutting edge" softkey. A different
number of tool cutting edges can assigned to each tool in this way.
