Height
This field specifies a default Height Offset (H) number to use with each tool. Possible values are 1 to 200.

information to correct for the length of the tool that is used to establish the Z-axis position in Part Setup (see
Chapter 5).

This field specifies a default Diameter (D) number to use with each tool. Possible values are 1 to 200. Intercon
uses this information to provide a default D value at each tool change. To change the value type a new number and
press ENTER.

This field specifies a default coolant type to use with each tool. Possible values are FLOOD, MIST, or OFF.
Intercon uses this information to automatically insert M7 or M8 after a tool change. To change the value, press
SPACE until the desired value is shown.
Spindle
This field specifies a default spindle direction to use with each tool. Possible values are CW, CCW, or OFF.
Intercon uses this information to automatically insert M3 or M4 after a tool change. To change the value, press
SPACE until the desired value is shown.
Speed
This field specifies a default spindle speed to use with each tool. Possible values are 0 to 500000. Intercon uses
this information to automatically insert an S code after a tool change. To change the value, type a new number and
