• Corner Radius—The corner radius of the tool. The default tool section has a rectangular shape defined by the Tool Width and Tool Length parameters. A Corner Radius value that is less than both Tool Width/2 and Tool Length/2, will generate a tool that has a rectangular shape with rounded corners. A Corner Radius value that is equal to the Tool Width/2 with Tool Width lesser than the Tool Length, will generate an obround.

• Tool Length—The length of the tool along the x-axis, or along the edge for Nibble Edge NC sequences.

• Tool Width—The width of the tool along the y-axis, or normal to the edge for Nibble Edge NC sequences.

• Tool Height—The height of the tool along the z-axis of the workpiece coordinate system.

• Units—The units of the tool. Inch, foot, millimeter, and centimeter units are available.

• Comment—Optional comments. A text string stored with the tool parameters. This text is for information only.

• Name—The tool’s name. The tool parameters are stored in the file <tool_name>.tpm, which is used throughout the manufacturing process to identify the tool uniquely. The name must be less than 32 alpha numeric characters long.

• Type—The type of tool. Standard Punch, UDF Punch, Form, Shear, Contour, and Solid Punch tools are available.

• Station—The tool location in the turret.

• Indexability—Specifies if the tool is indexable.

• Holder Size—Specifies the radius of the tool holder.
