Boring Bar
The MFG_NAME_BAS attribute for this tool is MfgBoringBarTool
This tool type has three compensation sites P1 (13), P2 (14), and P3 (15). P1 is
the most external point of the cutting flange projected onto the tool axis. P2
is the lower edge of the cutting flange (Boring Bars15) projected onto the tool
axis.
P3
(15) is the upper edge of the cutting flange (Back Boring Bars) projected onto
the tool axis.
