The control makes it possible to define FreeTurn tools and to use them, for example, for inclined or simultaneous turning operations.
FreeTurn tools are lathe tools that are equipped with multiple cutting edges. Depending on the variant, a single FreeTurn tool may be capable of axis-parallel and contour-parallel roughing and finishing.
Thanks to the use of FreeTurn tools, fewer tool changes are required, reducing the machining time. Due to the tool orientation to the workpiece, only outside machining is possible.
