OFSR : Cutter compensation value for the tool used to measure the workpiece origin offset
Xm : Amount of movement from the machine zero point to the workpiece origin when measured with a tool
having a length of OFSR
OFSW : Workpiece origin offset

As can be seen from the above figure, the workpiece origin offset
can be calculated from the following formula:
OFSW = Xm - OFSR
Pay particularly careful attention, however, to the sign of the
cutter compensation value OFSR:
The sign of OFSR is - when the measurement surface is located
in the positive (+) direction relative to the tool center.
The sign of OFSR is + when the measurement surface is located
in the negative (-) direction relative to the tool center.
