To adjust tools in the Tool Library on ShopSabre Wincnc
Two Ways:
1. Tool Length
Effectively like re-tool heighting but with a controlled amount.
- Make tool LONGER (cut deeper): Negative number (-.010") lengthens tool in control
- Make tool SHORTER (less deep): Positive number (+.010") shortens tool in control
- Add to cutter width (dia):
- Reduce cutter width (dia):
2. Height Offset:
Used if you don't want the tool length to be changed but you want a temporary height change. Useful for a standard tool thats used in many projects.
These act in opposite of the thing they are modifying.
- Make tool SHORTER (cut shallower): Positive number (+.020") will shorten the tool length.
- Make tool LONGER (cut deeper): Negative number (-.035") will lengthen tool in control.
When done with job, set these offsets back to zero or very visible note to next operator that tools have been offset.
