The video begins by explaining how to ensure all offset values (offset, tool wear, and object offset) are set to zero. Then, the machine's reference point is set by pressing Z5X and referencing the machine.
The next step involves facing the surface of the workpiece. After facing, the Z-axis is moved to the main tool, and '0' is entered as the Z-length input, followed by resetting.
The video demonstrates how to measure the workpiece's diameter using a handwheel. The measured value, which in this case is -22.0 (indicating the tool is below), is then input as the X-axis set length.
After setting the X-diameter, both the Z and X axes are referenced again. The MDA (Manual Data Automatic) function is used to check the tool's calibration by inputting G290 T1 D1 G291. The X-value of -22 is confirmed to be correct. Finally, the tool's accuracy is verified by setting the feed rate to 2 and observing its movement to the programmed position, confirming the tool setting is complete.
