    MEMO

    To perform long-term, continuous milling without changing the type of milling bur, load milling burs with the same specifications in multiple stockers and set the same milling bur name on these stockers.

    If you use the ITC (Intelligent Tool Control) function, when the milling bur being used approaches its replacement time, it is automatically switched with the next milling bur, and milling continues.

    You can set the same name to up to three milling burs.
