Editing an existing tool
To edit an existing tool is similar to adding a new tool using the same
dialogues.
 Highlight the desired field of the tool to be changed.
 Type in the new value, then press the ENTER key.
 When all changes have been made, press the Exit soft key, or USE
key to save changes to the tool table.
When running G-code programming, the tool length for each tool in
the program is provided from the tool table. As an example, T1 M6
prompts the operator to load tool 1 into the spindle. The tool length
and diameter offset are retrieved for tool #1 in the tool table, and used
to adjust the tool path and Z axis position. This is repeated for each tool
used.
