(2)Definition 2
In the second definition method, the tool length offset is the distance
from the tool tip position to the workpiece coordinate system origin
when the machine is positioned to the Z–axis zero point. A tool length
offset defined in this way will be equal to the difference between the
length of the tool to be measured and that of the reference tool, in the
same way as with definition 1. The reference tool for definition 2 is,
however, an imaginary tool which has a tip at the workpiece coordinate
system origin when the machine is positioned to the Z–axis zero point.
