Multipoint tools
A multipoint tool is a tool with multiple reference points or multiple
cutting edges. During T call, the tool number is followed by an .S to
identify the cutting edge.
Tool number.S (S=0..9)
S=0 identifies the main cutting edge. This does not need to be
programmed.
Examples:
T3 or T3.0: Tilted position 3; main cutting edge
T12.2: Tilted position 12; cutting edge 2
