To set the X axis take a skim cut of the
component (or touch the diameter).
Measure the diameter with a suitable
gauge e.g. 45.0mm
Enter the diameter as shown.
To set the Z axis touch the face with tool
number 2. Enter the zero value.

It is not necessary to have sequential tool numbers, for
example tools 1,3,5,7 etc are viable options.
(b) Using Tool Offsets
It is possible to access the Tool Offset function from the Absolute, Incremental or Sub Datum modes.
T 1 ABS
Pressing the [TOOL USE ] key enters the tool use mode
and displays T1 ABS, T1 INC or T1 Snnn (where nnn
refers to the sub datum number)
As Tool 1 has zero offsets the axes display will not
change.
NOTE: When in 'Tool Use' mode the [ ABS/INC ] and
[ SDM ] work in the normal way.

Scroll through the tool numbers using the
arrow keys.
OR
Key in the desired tool number using the
keypad and select option with ENT.
The arrow keys scroll the display forward (or backward)
through the stored tools.
The tool number can be entered directly enabling the
operator to directly access the required tool offset. e.g.
Tool 3 as shown.
For each tool, the offsets are added to the displayed
figures. Before machining a new part, select a tool, take a
diameter cut with that tool, measure the diameter and
enter the figure in the X display. For the Z, take a facing
cut at a known dimension and enter the value in the Z
display. Other tools will then be referenced to the same
datum.
Pressing the [TOOL USE] key again exits the function.
