Tool management
The groove machining macro may be used with spherical or truncating tools.
•
In case of spherical tools, the tool radius must be programmed as usual, with the R parameter, directly
inserted in the tool table, or explicitly written in the part-program.
•
In case of tools with flat bottom, the tool width must be specified with the J parameter. This parameter may
be directly stored in the tool table.

For the correct execution of the machining, it is necessary to know the zeroing point of the tool, i.e. the tool
orientation.
The function G150 KA… must be programmed before calling the macro for groove machining, specifying the
correct tool orientation.
For truncating tools, please refer to the following orientation codes:
