Tool offsets

When writing a program, it is not necessary to specify the cutter diameter, the tool point
direction of the turning tool (left/right-handed turning tools) or tool length.
You program the workpiece dimensions directly, for example, following the production
drawing.
When machining a workpiece, the tool paths are controlled according to the tool geometry
such that the programmed contour can be machined using any tool.
The control corrects the traverse path
You enter the tool data separately in the tool table on the control.
All you need to do is call the required tool with its offset data in the program.
