Repeat the above procedure for each tool you want to use. As your
tools wear, you will begin to see differences between the readout
display and workpiece dimensions. From time to time you will need to
check or re-qualify your tools.
A Tool Library Strategy
You do not need to have all tools referenced to each other—you can have
different groups of tools. For example, you may have qualified tools 10
through 20 on a tool presetter, and tools 50 through 60 using the auto-offset
method. To use the first group of tools, install any one of them, say tool 15,
and use it to set absolute zero. Now, tools 10 through 20 are referenced to the
same zero location. To use the second group of tools, use any one of them,
say tool 50, to set absolute zero, and now tools 50 through 60 will be
correctly referenced.
