5.15.4 Bit construction
The "BIT CONSTRUCTION" function is useful when a positive tooth (the high part between two lows) has
broken off. As the program cannot formulate hypothetical compensation because it is not possible to read
the missing part of the bit, the operator must reconstruct the tooth involved, determining its position from the
front of the bit and establishing the measurements of the cuts (height from the stem axis).
It is possible to reconstruct up to a maximum of 6 teeth on each bit side (fig. 91).
NOTE: always calculate the position of the tooth from STOP 0.
Fig. 91
Select BIT 1 for example.
Enter the position “from”, “to” and “height” of the tooth and press ENTER to confirm.
Go on to the next tooth by pressing the [arrow Down].
Press STOP to quit.
