ABSTRACT:
A tool display method for a numerically controlled lathe with which the configuration of a tool which conforms very closely to that of the actual tool can be displayed. Data representing a plurality of tool configuration types and dimensions of configurations of cutters as functions of a reference dimension according to the tool configuration types is stored in a memory of a numerical control unit body. A plurality of items of tool data are then inputted by operation of an input section, and an optimum tool configuration is selected in accordance with the tool data thus inputted. Dimensions of a cutter configuration according to the tool data are then calculated with reference to the optimum tool configuration type which has been selected. A tool mounting direction and whether or not a tool edge should be displayed are determined in accordance with the tool data. A tool configuration according to the selected optimum tool configuration type, the calculated dimensions of the cutter configuration, the tool mounting direction, and whether or not the edge of the tool should be displayed is then determined, and the tool configuration and a tool post configuration are synthesized into a turret configuration. The turret configuration is then displayed.
