The attachment point of the tool depends on the tool's geometry. The following examples show the attachment point when the main spindle is on the left side of the machine. In simulation, PartMaker can adjust these coordinates if the main spindle is on the right side of the machine.
The value l in the following examples shows the length of the tool specified in the Tools database.
