| Tool length 1 (Z direction) | |
| Tool length 2 (X direction) | |
| Delta value of tool length 1 (Z direction), is added to ZL | Oversize in tool length 1? |
| Delta value of tool length 2 (X direction), is added to XL | Oversize in tool length 2? |
| Cutting edge radius: if contours were programmed with radius compensation RL or RR, the control takes the cutting edge radius into account in turning cycles, and performs cutting radius compensation | |
| Tool orientation: from the tool orientation, the control determines the position of the tool tip and, depending on the selected tool type, additional information such as the tool angle direction, position of the tool reference point, etc. This information is necessary, for example, for calculating the cutting radius compensation, milling cutter radius compensation, plunge angle, etc. | |
| Spindle orientation angle: angle of the indexable insert to the main axis | Angle of spindle orientation? |
| Type of turning tool: Roughing tool ROUGH, finishing tool FINISH, thread tool THREAD, recessing tool RECESS, button tool BUTTON, groove turning tool RECTURN | |
