Tool offset D

Function
It is possible to assign between 1 and 8 (12) tool noses per tool with different tool offset
blocks to a specific tool. This allows you to define various tool noses for one tool, which you
can call as required in the NC program. Different offset values could be used, for example,
for the left and right tool nose of a grooving tool.
When D is called, the tool length offset for a specific tool nose is activated. If D0 is
programmed, the offsets for the tool are ineffective.
Tool length offsets take immediate effect when the D number is programmed. If no D word is
programmed, the default setting from the machine data is valid for tool change. A tool radius
offset must also be activated by G41/G42.
