Tool Offsets Tab
Tool offsets must be set before an automatic operation can be run. We must define each tool to
the control so that the control knows the type, length, size, shape and direction that the tool is
made to cut.
Before we can cut a part, we need to determine how many operations are needed (turning,
threading, drilling, tapping, grooving, etc…..) and what tools will be needed for each operation.
For our part that is drawn above, we need have the following processes that need to be done:
1. Turn the 2.750 Dia
2. Turn the 1.750 Dia
3. Face the end of the part
4. Turn the .08x.08 chamfer
5. Turn the .250 Radius
6. Groove the back of the thread
7. Turn the 1.75x10 thread
8. Drill the ¼-20 tapped hole
9. Tap the ¼-20 tapped hole
Processes #1-5 can be performed with any standard OD turning tool such as the ones pictured
here:
We will call this TOOL # 1
Process #6 Needs a grooving tool that can plunge and cut on the sides, such as the one pictured
here:
We will call this TOOL# 2
