ΔX3=(1.75+0.25) sin (θ)
ΔY3=(1.75+0.25) cos (θ)
Where:
Θ=α+β
Tan(α)=1/2.75 α = 20 deg.
Sin(β) = 0.25 / 𝟐. 𝟕𝟓𝟐 + 𝟏𝟐 β = 5 deg. Θ = 25 deg.
ΔX3 = 0.842 inch
ΔY3 = 1.814 inch
Xc3 = 1.75+0.842=2.592 inch
Yc3 = 2.5 + 1.814 = 4.314 inch

Tool length offset
• If more than one tool is being used, the first tool is set to zero on all
axis (XYZ). As the X and Y axis are set at the center of the cutter
they will be the same for all subsequent cutters.
• The Z axis zero point will however be different for each tool, being
dependent on the tool length.
Tool length offset
To make life easier the first tool is given an offset (or length) of zero
and subsequent tools are given a positive or negative offset based on
the difference in length from tool No. 1.
Tool length offset
Lets bring the first tool into contact with the work
This means that tool No. 1 has been set to a tool length
of 0
Tool length offset
Now tool 2 is brought into position. Its height is now
compared with Tool No. 1 and the tool length offset
entered in the tool data file. In this case it is -5.5, in other
words the tool No. 2 is 5.5 mm lower than tool No. 1 when
it is in contact with the work.
Tool length offset
Finally the third tool is brought into contact with the work
