Colour - Defines the colour of the tool and its associated toolpaths.

Layer - Specifies the layer on which the tool is drawn.

Max Rpm - Specifies the maximum spindle speed. This value remains in force until the next toolchange and limits the speed values output to the NC file.

Tlo No - Specifies the tool length offset number.

Gear - Select the gear number for the tool. Note that gear selections which are invalid for subsequent spindle speeds will be ignored.

Workshift - When performing a toolchange, you can pick the next work co-ordinate system that will be used. If you put a datum shift into the maching sequence, you will not be able to specify a workshift in a toolchange. A warning message will be inserted into the NC code.

Note: The processing of spindle speed and gear selection is Code Generator specific. Overriding speed values at this level may cause inaccuracies in cycle time calculations.
