# Tool length compensation (#TLC)

Select: #TLC ON [ <tool length compensation> ]

TLC permits the reuse of NC programs which were created by a programming system and which consider a specific tool length, even if the tool length was changed on the machine.

Effectiveness

- Active until deselected or up to program end.
- No new offsets or radii of the tool can be compensated, only the length.
- A new offset has no effect until the next absolute programmed position (G90).
