The purpose of tooling groups is to allow a group of tools to be used for specific materials. Currently, ShopBot Link allows 50 different tooling groups to be defined. To set up a tooling group, the operator must first define which group by using the pull-down menu. Once this has been selected, the operator must set the materials that they wish to use for this tool group.
An entire Group setting can be erased by clicking the Erase button next to the Group name.
