Abstract
A fixed station at a numerically controlled machine includes gauging means and automatic adjusting means for an adjustable cutting tool installed in the spindle of the numerically controlled machine. Multiple tools stored in the magazine of the NC machine for different cutting operations are provided with a common reference dimension to a cutting point so that the same gauge heads which include differential transducers registering respectively with the cutting point and reference surface of the tool can be employed to effect gauging and adjustment of different cutting tools.
