Effectiveness of the modified cutting data
The modified tool nose position and the modified tool nose reference point are immediately effective when
programming, even for a tool that is already active. A tool does not have to be re-selected for this purpose.
Influence of the active machining plane
To determine modified tool nose position, cutting direction and holder or clearance angle, the evaluation of the
cutting edge in the active plane (
G17
-
G19
) is decisive.
However, if setting data SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST (change of the tool length component when
selecting the plane), a valid value not equal to zero (plus or minus 17, 18 or 19), then its contents define the
plane in which the relevant quantities are evaluated.
