About Setting Up Tools
You can set up the cutting tools in advance, as part of the NC setup, and then select the appropriate tool when machining a feature, or create tools on the fly at the time of machining. Whenever you access the Cutting Tool Manager, the system displays the Tool Setup dialog box, which enables you to create, modify, and delete tools, as well as to review the tools already defined for the current machine.
