Imaginary tool nose numbers 0 and 9 are used when the tool nose center
coincides with the start position. Set imaginary tool nose number to
address OFT for each offset number.
Imaginary tool nose number 0 to 9
Virtual tool nose directions 1 to 8 can be used only in the G18 (Z–X) plane.

A offset number is specified with the same T code as that used for tool
offset. For details, see Subsec. II–13.1.1.
The range of the offset value is an follows :
Increment system metric system Inch system
IS–B 0 to "999.999 mm 0 to "99.9999 inch
The offset value corresponding to the offset number 0 is always 0.
No offset value can be set to offset number 0.
