Entering tool data in the table
You can define and store up to 30000 tools and their tool data in a tool 
table. In Machine Parameter 7260, you can define how many tools are 
to be stored by the TNC when a new table is set up. Also see the 
Editing Functions later in this Chapter. In order to be able to assign 
various compensation data to a tool (indexing the tool number), 
MP7262 must not be equal to 0.
You must use tool tables if
you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than 
one length compensation value (Page 188),
your machine tool has an automatic tool changer,
you want to measure tools automatically with the TT 130 touch 
probe (see the Touch Probe Cycles User’s Manual, Chapter 4),
you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycle G22 (see “ROUGH-
OUT (Cycle G122)” on page 392),
you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycles G251 to G254 (see 
“RECTANGULAR POCKET (Cycle G251)” on page 343)
you want to work with automatic cutting data calculations.
