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.

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