1. Approach the tool to the part and touch it with it.
2. Then, press the keystroke sequence [Z] [ENTER].
The tool has been calibrated. The CNC assigns the corresponding length (L) to it and resets the
K offset value to 0. The tool radius (R) must be entered manually.

2. Approach the tool to the part and touch it with it.
3. Then, press the keystroke sequence [Z] [ENTER].
Modifying the tool data while executing a program
It is possible to modifying the tool values (dimensions and geometry) without interrupting the
execution of a program.
To do that, press the tool calibration key. The CNC will show the tool calibration screen
with all the data for the active tool and it will allow modifying its data or of any other tool.
