C. Offset input

Select edge finer from left tool bar and mount it to main spindle .

Use Right Button menu to select Panel XOZ , press to approach slowly to the edge of workpiece until LED is on , as following:
1．Offset

Moving mouse onto tool shank ,the tool information will be shown，and then right-click on the tool shank to pop up the menu as below:

Select “Tool ready” , the turret will index the station to the machining position.

Right-click on the machine view to pop up the menu , select “Move to center” ,the tool nose aligns with the center of work piece.

Press “OFFSET SETTING”,an image shown as below:

Press “OFFSET” soft key，enter “X0”，press “Measure” soft key, offset for X is done, Z axis is the same as X.
