(2) Method 2
The tool length offset is defined as the distance between the origin
of the workpiece coordinate system and the tool tip position while
the machine is positioned to the zero point of the Z-axis of the
machine coordinate system. This method is the same as method 1
in that the difference from the length of the reference tool is used
as the tool length offset. Method 2 differs from method 1 in that
the reference tool is a virtual tool whose tool tip is positioned to
the origin of the workpiece coordinate system while the machine
is positioned to the zero point of the Z-axis of the machine
coordinate system.
