Tool Compensation
When tool compensation is enabled, the digital readout will offset the displayed position by the 1/2 tool diameter from the
actual position, Z coordinate will be also adjusted per tool length offset (if any). This feature allows a part to be machined
directly using the dimensions from the drawing.
In mill mode, the DRO stores the diameter and length offsets and can save up to 99 unique tools. The current tool is
displayed on information screen (e.g. “TL02”).
