Tool Ofsett in CNC program


Usually, several tools are used for machining one workpiece. The tools have different tool length. It is very troublesome to change the program in accordance with the tools. Therefore, the length of each tool used should be measured in advance.
By setting the difference between the length of the standard tool and the length of each tool in the CNC machining can be performed without altering the program even when the tool is changed.
This function is called tool offset.
