1. Remove worn or damaged tools from the tool
magazine if any.
2. Insert the new tools:
a. Ensure that the positions of the tools in the
tool magazine match the tool positions in
DENTALCNC.
b. Insert the tools straight into the tool positions
with the cutting edge pointing downwards.
Push them in until the ring touches the rub-
ber.
If the positions of the tools in the tool
magazine do not match the tool positions
in DENTALCNC, the machine will use the
wrong tool(s) during job execution and the
job result will become unusable.
3. After replacing a tool, reset the tool life value. For
this, use the Tool management view in
DENTALCNC.
