Cutting data modification for tools that can be rotated (CUTMOD)

Function
Using the function "cutting data modification for rotatable tools", the changed geometrical
relationships, that are obtained relative to the workpiece being machined when rotating tools
(predominantly turning tools, but also drilling and milling tools) can be taken into account with
the tool compensation.
Figure 7-1
The actual tool rotation is always determined from a currently active toolholder that can be
orientated (refer to " Tool length compensation for orientable toolholders (TCARR, TCOABS,
TCOFR, TCOFRX, TCOFRY, TCOFRZ) [Page 451] ").
The function is activated using the command _movePathCircular().
