In tool tip center rotation feed and tool tip position display with the
manual feed function for 5-axis machining:
When 0 is set in parameter No. 19666 (tool holder offset value):
Set the distance from the tool rotation center to the tool tip.
When a value other than 0 is set in parameter No. 19666 (tool holder
offset value):
Set the distance from the tool attachment position to the tool tip.
In this case, the distance from the tool rotation center to the tool
tip is the value of parameter No. 19666 added to the value of this
parameter.
