Installing no more than the number required to accomplish cutting is sufficient. Keeping four installed always is not neces-
sary. Also, you are free to mount tool holders in whichever stocker numbers you prefer. It can be convenient to decide on
and use a system that is easy to remember, such as mounting a draft-cutting tool holder in stocker No. 1, a semi-finishing
tool in No. 2, and so on.
Important Note on the Destination for Tool-holder Return
When the spindle is gripping the tool holder from stocker No. 1, for example, never mount another tool in No. 1. Doing so
makes it impossible to return the tool holder currently gripped. This unit employs a fixed-address system, in which a tool
holder taken from stocker No. 1 is always returned to No. 1.
