In this lesson, you will learn about selecting a part program from memory. Multiple part programs can be stored in the CNC controller, but only one part program can be active at a time. Selecting a part program loads it into the memory of the CNC controller and makes it active so that it can be used to machine parts.

In this lesson, you will learn to adjust the tool wear offset in the CNC controller. Adjusting the tool wear offset is necessary because, as cutting tools wear, the dimensions they are machining may increase or decrease. The tool wear offset process allows you to change the position of the cutting tool to compensate for the tool wear.
