Disk
List of disks that can be mounted on the machine's main spindle.
“Disk 400” with a diameter of 400.0 mm is currently installed.

Tools
List of tools (milling cutters and core drills) that can be mounted on the machine's secondary spindle.
“Milling cutter 26” with a diameter of 26.0 mm is currently installed.

The background of the “Disk” type is light blue because it is the currently selected tool category.
Simply click the rectangle for the desired tool type to update the tool list below with the tools available for that type.
As a result of changing the tool type, it is automatically selected as shown in the previous example image.

List of tools for selected tool type

The tool list shown as an example in the following image contains four disks: “Disk 400”, “Disk 625”, “Disk 2755” and “Disk 325”.
The first disk in the list is the one currently mounted on the machine, indicated by the light green background and green check mark.
The section on the right shows the parameters relating to the selected tool.
