The following data can be programmed in the TOOL CALL block:
• Tool number, Q parameter or tool name
(name only if a tool table is active)
• Spindle axis
• Spindle speed
• Oversize for the tool length DL
• Oversize for the tool radius DR
D represents the Greek letter delta, which is used as a symbol for differ-
ences and deviations.
To call tool data:
TOOL NUMBER ?
Enter the number of the tool as defined in the tool table or in a TOOL
DEF block, for example 5.

TOOL LENGTH OVERSIZE ?
Enter delta values for the tool length, e.g. DL = 0.2 mm.
TOOL RADIUS OVERSIZE ?
