The Tool List also contains the data within each tool. This template is useful for telling the NC Programmer &nbsp;what tools are available for this NC Program.

Unique Tool List by Program does not display all the tools in the Tool View, only those that are actually used to machine the part. Therefore, if a tool was originally listed in the Tool View during the programming process, but it was not used in the actual machining of the part, it does not appear in this list. These tools and their data are listed in the order they are used but the list does not include duplicates. Even if the tool is used for more than one operation in a program, it is only listed once. This list can be useful for people working in the tool crib to prepare all the needed tools. It is also helpful for machine tool setup. You can use this list to promote proper setup; installation of correct tools in the right place. Unique Tool List by Program provides a list in text or HTML format.</p>
