¾ Select handwheel, single step or manual mode;
¾ Press the principal axis on, and then press [X+] [X-] [Z+] [Z-] to move the axis and test cutting the workpiece;
¾ After test cutting, turn off the principal axis but do not move the axis;
¾ Select edit mode, measure corresponding data and display data, press the number keys to enter directly, press [EOB] to
calculate and save automatically, or press [Cancel] to exit;
0 Caution
1. For tool setting by test cutting, automatically calculate the entered measurement value plus
current machine tool coordinates and then enter. Therefore, the current position of machine tool
must be true.
2. When measuring the diameter of workpiece, test cutting a layer of the workpiece surface. After
cutting, the axis can only retract in opposite direction. Do not move X axis, or else the
measured diameter will be invalid.
3. Measure the length of the workpiece, touch the workpiece end with the tool, make it can be cut;
enter length value 0, indicating that current point is the workpiece home of Z axis.
