I – 2 Milling Specific Operations
This section discusses operations and soft key functions specific to
milling applications only.
Key Functions Detailed
Tool Hard Key
This Hard key opens the tool table and provides access to the Tool
form for entering a tool’s parameters (a soft key is used on a one axis
readout). The Wizard 411 can store up to 16 tools within the tool table.
Tool Table
The Wizard 411 tool table provides a convenient way to store diameter
and length offset information for each of the tools you commonly use.
You can enter up to 16 tools. (See Fig. I.6 Tool Table in Milling).
The following soft keys are also available while in the Tool Table form
or in the individual tool data form:
Tool Compensation
Wizard 411 has tool compensation. This allows you to enter workpiece
dimensions directly from the drawing. The displayed distance to go is
then automatically lengthened (R+) or shortened (R–) by the value of
the tool radius. See Fig. I.7. For more information see "Presets" on
page 10.
The length offset may be entered as a known value or the Wizard 411
may determine the offset automatically. The tool length is the
difference in length ∆L between the tool and the reference tool. The
length difference is indicated with the “∆“ symbol. The reference tool
is indicated by T1, see Fig. I.8.

Function Soft key
This key allows the operator to select which
axis all the tool length offsets will affect. The
tool’s diameter values will subsequently be
used to offset the remaining two axes.
Press to automatically enter the tool offset
length. Only available in TOOL LENGTH field.
This will open the TOOL TYPES form for
selection. Only available in TYPE field.
