**Introduction to Tool Management**

The tool management system in the AitalMAC application is inherited from AitekCAM, a CNC Stone Machining Center application initially developed for routing operations and later extended to include blade functionality. To maintain compatibility, AitalMAC still allows tools to be synced with AitekCAM. However, the way tool parameters are used differs significantly between the two systems. Additionally, programs post-processed by Pegasus CAD/CAM do not utilize the tool parameters defined within the AitalMAC application, as Pegasus relies on its own set of parameters for program execution.

In AitekCAM, parameters like [**tool types**](#h-121713-type) play a central role in defining the behavior of programs created within the CAM environment. These parameters influence the operation paths, machining logic, and other critical aspects of toolpath generation. In contrast, AitalMAC uses [**tool types**](#h-121713-type) primarily to manage conflicts between tools and operations. For example, in AitalMAC, users can only access the [**X-Y Cut**](#h-133-xy-cut) page—designed specifically for blade tools—if the primary loaded tool is of the [**blade type**](#h-121713-type). In this context, tool types help ensure logical compatibility between operations and tool assignments rather than defining program behavior.

It is important to recognize that many of these parameters are influenced by the history of development. As a result, some parameters may appear unnecessary or out of place unless this historical context is considered. For instance, parameters like [**speeds**](#h-121725-spindle-speed-rpm) and [**feeds**](#h-121726-xy-feed) are heavily utilized in AitalMAC, while others, such as [**safe position**](#h-121724-safe-position), are included solely for compatibility with AitekCAM, where they are still actively used. Understanding this distinction can help users better navigate and make sense of the tool management system in AitalMAC.

##### 1.2.1.7.1 Basic

The **Basic** tab contains the essential parameters required to define a valid tool. These include the tool's [**name**](#h-121711-name), [**type**](#h-121713-type), [**number**](#h-121712-tool-number-t), [**position**](#h-121714-position) in the tool change sequence, [**diameter**](#h-121716-diameter), and [**axis offsets**](#h-121717-zoffset).

![Basic tab](/aitalmac-ui/1.2.1.7.1.png)
***Figure 1.2.1.7.1**: Basic parameters tab of the edit tool window*

###### 1.2.1.7.1.1 Name

The **Name** field specifies the unique identifier for the tool. It serves as a label to easily recognize and distinguish the tool. The name should be descriptive enough to provide clarity about the tool's purpose or type (e.g., "Finber Bit 20mm" or "Saw Blade Marble 450mm"). Proper naming conventions ensure smooth operation, especially when managing multiple tools.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.2 Tool Number (T)

The **Tool Number (T)** is a unique identifier used by the machine's logic to manage and reference tools during operations. The program ensures this number is unique. If a duplicate tool number is entered, an error will occur, and the program will automatically compile and assign the next viable unique number before saving the tool. This prevents conflicts and ensures accurate tool handling in the machining process.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.3 Type

This field allows you to select the type of tool being used in the operation from a dropdown list. Available options include tools such as a drill, blade, finger bit, and others. The selected tool type is validated to ensure compatibility with the operation being performed. For instance, a probing operation requiring a finger bit will check that the second loaded tool is not a blade, as using an incorrect tool could lead to unexpected behaviors or errors.

If the wrong tool type is detected, the machine will stop and display an error message. This system safeguards against potential issues, maintaining safety and operational precision. Maintaining consistency between AitalMAC and Pegasus applications by matching tool types is strongly recommended, as future updates to AitalMAC may introduce similar restrictions, such as specific tool requirements for functions like drilling holes.

**Tool Types in the Dropdown List:**

- **Profiling**: Tools used by CNC Machining Centers to shape the edges of the stone. This type is included for AitekCAM compatibility purposes.
- **Drill**: Commonly used for creating cylindrical holes in materials. Drills are allowed as secondary tools in the AitalMAC application and can also be used in Pegasus to program drilling hole strategies, particularly for finishing concave corners that cannot be reached by a blade. It is recommended to maintain consistency by explicitly setting drills as such in both AitalMAC and Pegasus applications.
- **Water Slot**: Also known as calibration wheels, these tools are included for AitekCAM compatibility purposes. Operators will often set tools of this type due to their distinct appearance compared to a finger bit. While there are no strict limitations within the AitalMAC application, consistency with AitekCAM ensures smooth operation.
- **Tap**: Deprecated and maintained for legacy machines only, slated to be removed.
- **Blade**: Ensures compatibility for cutting tasks that require tools classified as "blade" type. The AitalMAC application enforces strict limitations, allowing only tools of this type to perform certain operations to ensure precision and safety. Properly selecting the tool type aligns the application’s operations with the intended tool usage, minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency. Although Pegasus and AitalMAC applications operate independently without strict integration, maintaining consistency in tool type settings across both systems is highly recommended. This practice simplifies workflows and ensures readiness for future updates and improvements to both applications.
- **Finger Bit**: Commonly used for CNC Machining Centers to cut sinks out, this tool type is also included for compatibility with AitekCAM rather than serving any specific function within the AitalMAC application. It is not recommended as the secondary tool for bridge saws, as the hollow finger bit tool type is better suited for such tasks, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance.
- **Groove Bit**: Maintained solely for compatibility with AitekCAM, as even the slope program within AitalMAC does not require this type of tool.
- **Hollow Finger Bit**: This is the correct type for the secondary tool for AitalMAC saw machines. Choose this type rather than the Finger Bit, as it is better suited for the type of processing performed by Pegasus, which runs steps in a spiral fashion.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.4 Position

This setting specifies the position of the tool within the machine's magazine. On machines equipped with an automatic tool change function, the available positions are typically numbered, such as 1 to 27. These numbered positions correspond to the pockets in the magazine.

- **Position 0**: Reserved for manual tool changes. When a tool is assigned to Position 0, the machine will move to the manual tool change position and await user confirmation after the tool change is completed. This behavior is consistent regardless of whether the current and requested tool are **both** assigned to Position 0.
- **Positions 1 to 27**: These positions are used for automatic tool changes. If two tools are assigned to the same position, the tool change sequence is skipped because it is interpreted as stacked tools. This allows seamless transitions without requiring additional tool change operations.
- **Positions 28 and Higher**: These positions are also reserved for manual tool changes. However, unlike Position 0, if two tools share the same position number, the tool change sequence is skipped as it is interpreted as stacked tools.

It is important to note that Position 0 has unique behavior: the machine always moves to the manual tool change position and waits for user confirmation, even if the current and requested tool are both in Position 0. For positions beyond the magazine's automatic range (e.g., 28 and higher), the tool change sequence behaves similarly to stacked tools, skipping the sequence when tools share the same position number.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.5 CNC Diameter

The CNC diameter is a view-only field showing the calculated diameter used for tool radius compensation (e.g., G41-G42), commonly applied when running tools along the edge of the material on CNC machining centers. It is derived as:

**CNC Diameter = Diameter + (Removal × 2)**

The [**Removal**](#h-121721-removal) value, specified in the [**Extend**](#h-12172-extend) tab, adds an offset to the tool radius to leave surplus material for subsequent tools in a multi-step grinding process. Each tool in the sequence progressively removes material, refining the surface left by the previous tool. Only the final tool, with no "Removal" offset, grinds the material to the programmed finished size using its actual measured diameter.

When probing the tool diameter on CNC machining centers, the machine will adjust both CNC and base diameters while keeping the [**Removal**](#h-121721-removal) constant.

It is important to note that on 5-axis bridge saw machines, which predominantly use blade saw tools operating vertically and approaching the material from the top, removal offsets are not applied to depth. Removal compensation (via G41-G42) works exclusively on the XY plane, where the spindle approaches horizontally, as is typical for CNC machining centers. For 5-axis bridge saws, removal compensation is not applicable to either edge or depth, as the nature of the cutting process differs significantly from CNC machining centers.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.6 Diameter

This is the actual, physical diameter of the tool as measured and entered by the operator when installing a new tool. The base diameter serves as the foundation for calculating the CNC diameter and represents the real dimensions of the tool itself. It ensures accurate toolpath calculations and material removal during machining processes.

For blade-type tools, the [**diameter can be probed**](#h-1244-probe-blade) by the machine. After a successful probing sequence, the measured diameter is automatically updated in the system, ensuring precise cutting operations and alignment.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.7 Zoffset

This offset is applied along the Z axis using G43 and removed with G49, subtracting the tool’s offset from the current axis position. In most CNC machining centers with vertical spindles, tool length compensation occurs on the Z axis. However, on AitalMAC 5-axis bridge saws (and similar 5-axis machines), the tool length is compensated on the W axis, which runs parallel to the spindle’s pivot.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.8 Aoffset.

This offset applies to the A axis, which is typically not used on most AitalMAC machines. Keep it set to 0.

###### 1.2.1.7.1.9 Boffset

This offset is associated with the B axis. On 5-axis bridge saws, where the B axis exists physically, *Boffset* is typically left at 0. However, on AitalMAC's CNC machining centers—which do not actually have a B axis—*Boffset* is repurposed for tool diameter probing.

During diameter probing, the offset designated as *Boffset* is temporarily applied on the Z axis to position the tool at the correct “probing height.” This probing height differs from the normal “working height,” which is managed by [*Zoffset*](#h-121717-zoffset). Therefore, *Boffset* does **not** serve as a tool-length offset during regular cutting operations; it is used solely to set the correct probing position for diameter measurement on machines without a physical B axis.

### 1.2.1.7.1.10 Woffset

**Woffset** is an offset applied along the W axis, which aligns with the main spindle axis where tools are mounted and acts as the tool length. This offset ensures accurate tool positioning on 5-axis machines by compensating for differences in tool geometry and mounting relative to the machine's pivot point.

For [**blade-type**](#h-121713-type) tools, the flange serves as the reference point for Woffset calculations. The flange provides a fixed and consistent mounting position, making it critical for precise alignment and operation.

Woffset is also applicable to all other [**tool types**](#h-121713-type), including those not directly attached to the flange. In these cases, Woffset is calculated based on a theoretical flange position to maintain consistent functionality.

Pegasus software calculates Woffset for blade tools using the **segment thickness** and **core thickness** of the blade:

Woffset = (Segment Thickness - Core Thickness) / 2 + Core Thickness

This calculation assumes the blade is symmetrical. Operators must be aware that Pegasus sets Woffset automatically using this formula. For asymmetrical blades, operators must adjust parameters as though the blade were symmetrical to ensure proper machine operation.

**Managing Woffset in Systems**

- **Without Tool Change Capability**: On 5-axis machines without tool change support for CNC profiling tools, **Pegasus software automatically manages Woffset**, simplifying setup and ensuring precise cutting without manual intervention.
- **With Tool Change Capability**: On machines with tool change features, **Woffset is managed within the AitalMAC application** as the tool length offset. This applies to blades and other profiling tools, requiring operators to accurately set and maintain Woffset for reliable performance during tool changes.

**Key Considerations**

1. **Accurate Measurements**: Measure segment and core thickness precisely.
2. **Symmetry Adjustment**: Adjust parameters for asymmetrical blades, as Pegasus assumes symmetry.
3. **Software Integration**: Identify whether Pegasus or AitalMAC handles Woffset in your workflow.
4. **Tool Consistency**: Update Woffset settings for each tool type.
5. **Regular Calibration**: Periodically verify Woffset settings to ensure accuracy.

Proper management of Woffset is essential for achieving high-quality and consistent cutting performance on 5-axis machines.


##### 1.2.1.7.2 Extend

The **Extend** tab provides additional parameters for advanced tool setup and operation. While some of these parameters are optional, others—such as tickness, speed and feed settings—are essential for ensuring proper tool functionality.

![1.2.1.7.2.png](/aitalmac-ui/1.2.1.7.2.png)

###### 1.2.1.7.2.1 Removal

The "Removal" is a crucial parameter that defines the additional offset added to the tool radius during CNC operations. This value is entered in the "Extend" tab and directly influences the calculation of the CNC diameter:

**CNC Diameter = Diameter + (Removal × 2)**

The primary purpose of the Removal is to leave surplus material for subsequent tools in a multi-step grinding process. Each tool in the sequence removes a layer of material, refining the surface left by the previous tool. This ensures that every tool can perform its task effectively, leading to a smooth and precise finish.

On CNC machining centers, removal is compensated by G41 and G42, which operate in the XY plane with the spindle vertical. This allows accurate edge compensation during machining. However, on 5-axis bridge saw machines, where blade tools approach the material from the top, removal does not influence depth adjustments.

Only the final tool in a grinding tool set operates without a Removal offset, using its exact diameter to achieve the programmed finished size. Proper configuration of the Removal parameter is essential for achieving precise machining results and maintaining consistent surface quality.

**Availability**: Removal is exclusively enabled for Profiling, Finger Bit, and Water Slot tool types. For all other tool types, this parameter remains inactive (greyed out).

###### 1.2.1.7.2.2 Waste

This parameter is specific to tools used in CNC machining centers and exists solely for AitekCAM compatibility purposes. "Waste" is used by AitekCAM to generate programs that compensate for tool wear at the end of a tool cycle during execution on the CNC. However, this feature has been deprecated and replaced by "Dynamic Wear," which provides more precise and adaptive compensation for tool wear. While still present for legacy support, "Waste" is no longer actively utilized in modern workflows.

**Availability**: Waste is exclusively enabled for Profiling, Finger Bit, and Water Slot tool types. For all other tool types, this parameter remains inactive (greyed out).

###### 1.2.1.7.2.3 Drilling Step

This parameter is maintained for AitekCAM legacy compatibility and specifies the peck drilling depth used in generating peck drilling programs with drill tools.

**Availability**: Drilling Step is exclusively enabled for drill-type tools. For all other tool types, this parameter remains inactive (greyed out), as it is not applicable to them.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.4 Safe Position

This parameter is included solely for compatibility with AitekCAM and does not directly operate within the AitalMAC application. It defines the distance of the tool above the material used during rapid movements within the generated program. Safe Position ensures that the tool clears the material safely when moving between machining operations, preventing collisions and optimizing workflow.

For AitalMAC Manual and Semi-Auto operations, the equivalent parameter is the Safe Z parameter, which is located in the Parameters page, not within the tool edit window where Safe Position is configured. This distinction ensures clarity in how these parameters are applied within their respective contexts.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.5 Spindle Speed (RPM)

This parameter specifies the spindle revolutions per minute (RPM) and is valid in both AitalMAC and AitekCAM applications when using this tool. The spindle speed should be set considering the tool diameter, the material to be cut, and the recommendations provided by the tool manufacturer. Adhering to the recommended speed ensures optimal performance and prevents unnecessary wear or damage to the tool and material.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.6 XY Feed

This parameter is valid in both AitalMAC and AitekCAM applications and specifies the feed rate in units per minute (units/min) that the tool will use while cutting the material in the X and Y directions. It is recommended to follow the feed rate suggested by the tool manufacturer, considering the material being processed.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.7 Z Plunge

Specifies the feed rate along the Z-axis during material entry. Set to 10%-15% of the XY Feed rate, with adjustments based on tool diameter, material properties, and manufacturer specifications. Ensures safe, effective plunging. Applicable in both AitalMAC and AitekCAM applications.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.8 Thickness

Exclusive to blade-type tools, this parameter is valid in both AitekCAM and AitalMAC applications. It is used in semi-automatic processing to precisely adjust machine movements between cuts, compensating for blade thickness.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.9 C Distance

The C Distance parameter does not function within the AitalMAC application. It was originally exclusive to AitekCAM for blade tools, where it served as a basic kinematics pivot offset for 4-axis machines. This parameter is now deprecated in AitekCAM and slated for removal from AitalMAC in future versions. Users of AitalMAC versions newer than this documentation may no longer see this parameter.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.10 K

The K parameter is exclusive to Tap-type tools, which are slated for removal. This parameter may no longer be present in AitalMAC application versions released after the date of this documentation.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.11 Z Oscillation

The Z Oscillation parameter is not used in the AitalMAC application and is exclusive to AitekCAM. It is valid only for Profiling and Finger Bit tools and specifies the wave height for oscillating toolpaths. When set to a non-zero value, it creates a wave-like motion along the Z-axis. The parameter can also take negative values, causing the entire wave to remain below the default working height.

This feature is used to ensure consistent tool wear along the entire length or to minimize visible lines in the material after processing.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.12 Oscillation Frequency

Oscillation Frequency is closely related to the Z Oscillation parameter and determines the frequency of the wave generated when Z Oscillation is non-zero. The frequency is defined as half the wavelength of the wave. This parameter just like "Z Oscillation" is not used in the AitalMAC application and is exclusive to AitekCAM, applicable only to Profiling and Finger Bit tools.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.13 Z Start

Exclusive to AitekCAM and only applicable to Groove Bit tools, this parameter defines the starting height offset added to the tool's default working height. A negative value causes the tool to plunge deeper into the material. Groove Bits are designed for single-line segment paths in AitekCAM, enabling sloping linear paths when used in conjunction with Z End.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.14 Z End

Exclusive to AitekCAM and only applicable to Groove Bit tools, this parameter defines the ending height offset added to the tool's default working height. Like Z Start, a negative value causes a deeper plunge into the material. Together with Z Start, it facilitates the creation of sloping linear paths for single-line segment operations.

###### 1.2.1.7.2.15 Z Removal

Exclusive to AitekCAM and only applicable to Groove Bit tools, Z Removal is an additional offset applied to both Z Start and Z End. It simplifies creating a series of tools with incremental depths, where each subsequent Groove Bit plunges deeper. As Z Removal decreases, the tool plunges further into the material, allowing for precise control over depth. A Z Removal value of 0 aligns the start and end heights exactly with Z Start and Z End offsets.
