Parameters of the sum and setup offsets ($TC_SCPxy, $TC_ECPxy)
The numbering of the parameters is oriented to the numbering of system variables $TC_DP3 to $TC_DP11.
The effect of the parameters is similar to the wear (additive to the tool geometry). Up to six sum/setup parameters
can be defined per cutting edge parameter.

System variable
Clearance angle
$TC_DP24
• The clearance angle is stored here for ManualTurn; tool type 5xx. Same
significance as in standard cycles for turning tools.
• The tip angle of the drill is stored here for ShopMill; tool type 2xx.
• Used in standard cycles for turning tools; tool type 5xx. This is the angle
at the secondary cutting edge for these tools.
$TC_DP25
• The value for the cutting rate is stored here for ManualTurn.
• A bitcoded value for various states of tool types 1xx and 2xx is stored
here for ShopMill.
