7.3 Tool data
Standard turning tools
Select "New tool."
Select lathe tools.
For tools with round cutting edge, switch to dialog for
button tools.
For tool orientations TO=1, 3, 5 and 7, you can enter the tool angle
EW. The tool orientation values TO=2, 4, 6, 8 are used for neutral
tools. "Neutral" tools are tools that are centered precisely in the tool
tip. One of the setting dimensions for neutral tools refers to the center
of the tool-tip radius.
Special parameters for roughing and finishing tools
CO Cutting edge position: The main machining direction of the tool
influences the orientation of the tool angle EW and the point
angle SW (required for AWG with TURN PLUS).
 1: Longitudinal preferred
 2: Transverse preferred
 3: Only longitudinal
 4: Only transverse
RS Cutting radius
EW Tool angle (range: 0° <= EW <= 180°)
SW Point angle (range: 0° <= SW <= 180°)
SUT Tool type (required for AWG in TURN PLUS)
For further tool parameters, see Seite 516.
Special parameters for button tools
RS Cutting radius
EW Tool angle (range: 0° <= EW <= 180°)
DS Special compensation (position of the special compensation:
see figure)
For further tool parameters, see Seite 516.
The wear compensation DX, DZ compensates for wear on
the two sides of the tool tip that lie next to the reference
point. The special compensation DS compensates for
wear on the third side of the tool tip.
