UNDERSTANDING PRESETTING
Presetting is simply measuring a cutting tool assembly before using it in a machine center.
Machine Centers can measure tools inside the machine itself, but the opportunity cost is that they cannot measure tools
and cut parts at the same time. Presetting allows the end-user to measure these tools outside of the Machine Center and cut chips at the same time, which reduces spindle down time through faster changeovers, while increasing the number of machined parts produced.
