Tool compensation values include tool geometry compensation values
and tool wear compensation values (Fig. 10.2 (b)).
Tool compensation can be specified without differentiating compensation
for tool geometry from that for tool wear (Fig. 10.2 (c)).

Tool compensation values can be entered into CNC memory from the
CRT/MDI panel or from a program.
A tool compensation value is selected from the CNC memory when the
corresponding code is specified after address T in a program.
The value is used for tool offset or tool nose radius compensation.
Tool offset amount range which can be set is as follows:
