2.5.1 Setting-up a new tool
Before you can work with a new tool, you must first enter it in the tool
list. When setting-up a new tool, ShopTurn makes a variety of tool
types available to you. The tool type determines which geometry data
are required and how they will be computed.
Possible tool types
The rotary drill can be used for centric drilling and turning.

and Spindle").
 Select the "Tool list" softkey in the "Tools WOs" operating area.
