8.8.1 About Work Offsets
Work offsets allow you to think in terms of X, Y, and Z
coordinates with respect to the part, rather than thinking of
them with respect to the machine position. This means that
you can jog the machine to an arbitrary location (like the end
of a workpiece) and call that location zero.
You can save up to 500 work offsets in PathPilot. The naming
structure varies based on the offset number, as detailed in the
following table.
Work Offset Naming
Offsets 1-9 (Use either name)
Offset Extended Name Name
1 G54.1 P1 G54
2 G54.1 P2 G55
3 G54.1 P3 G56
4 G54.1 P4 G57
5 G54.1 P5 G58
6 G54.1 P6 G59
7 G54.1 P7 G59.1
8 G54.1 P8 G59.2
9 G54.1 P9 G59.3
Offsets 10-500 (Use extended name)
Offset Extended Name Name
10 G54.1 P10 Not used
11 G54.1 P11 Not used

499 G54.1 P499 Not used
500 G54.1 P500 Not used
8.9 OPERATE THE COOLANT PUMP
To turn coolant on or off:
Select Coolant.
Figure 8-19: Coolant button.
For more information on turning on and off coolant, see
"About Coolant" (below).
8.9.1 About Coolant
In the PathPilot interface, the Coolant button controls the
machine's coolant pump power outlet. The Coolant button’s
light shows the current state of the outlet: the light is on when
the outlet has power; the light is off when the outlet does not
have power.
Note: The Coolant button is equivalent to using an
M08 (coolant on) or M09 (coolant off) command in
the G-code program.
Use the Coolant button before or after a program is running,
while a program is running, or while you are using manual
data input (MDI) commands.
