Note: Search results are based on the type of the operation.

Additional feeds and speeds configuration filtering is available. This filter is based on the feeds & speeds configuration specified for the part operation during setup. Tools with at least one feeds & speeds configuration that correspond to the values specified during setup will be displayed in the search results.

Local Tool Gage: Specifies the value of the tool gage. You can also click Enable/disable edit of local tool gage. When you enable this option, you can edit the values for the local tool gage.

If you enable the Display tool at option, the tool assembly is displayed based on the local tool gage value that you specified.
The behavior for modification of the local tool gage value is as follows:
- If the Enable/disable edit of local tool gage option is disabled, then no local gage value is considered and the gage value is obtained from the main resource.
- If the option is enabled, then, the upper limit for gage value is the Overall length of the tool. If you specify a local tool gage value higher than the overall length of the tool, then value is reset to the overall length.
- If you specify the local tool gage value lower than the lower limit (overall length - maximum gage of holder), then value is reset to the overall length.
Note: This option is only available in the Tool Parameters tab of milling operations panels.

Assembly, Tool, Insert

All tool types with compatible inserts are authorized. The internal and external threading insert-holders with thread inserts may be used.

If there are no previously created tool motions listed in the Sequential Turning dialog box, the first one must be a Go Standard motion to a point. It specifies either the absolute start position from where the following position is computed or the end point of the approach macro (if the operation has one).
