6.6 Offsets Tab
The Osets tab reveals two sub tabs, Tool and Work (see Figure 6.18).
Work osets are a concept that allow the operator to think in terms of X/Y/Z coordinates with
respect to the part instead of thinking of them with respect to the mill posion. Mulple work
osets can be saved in the control (up to nine). These are selected by typing G54, G55, etc (up to
G59, G59.1, G59.2, G59.3) into the MDI Line, or by including them in a G-code program.
NOTE: An M30 command or pressing the Reset buon restores the system to the default oset, G54.
Tool osets allow the operator to use tools of dierent lengths or (when using G42/43 cuer radius
compensaon) dierent diameters, while sll programming with respect to the workpiece. The
most common tool oset is the tool length oset, which is applied by the G43 command.
