necessary to select a suitable tool. When a number is assigned to each tool
and the number is specified in the program, the corresponding tool is
selected.

<When No.01 is assigned to drilling tool>
When the tool is stored at location 01 in the ATC magazine, the tool can
be selected by specifying T01. This is called the tool function (See II–10).
When machining is actually started, it is necessary to rotate the spindle,
and feed coolant. For this purpose, on–off operations of spindle motor and
coolant valve should be controlled (See II–11).

The function of specifying the on–off operations of the components of the
machine is called the miscellaneous function. In general, the function is
specified by an M code.
For example, when M03 is specified, the spindle is rotated clockwise at
the specified spindle speed.
