Abstract
A method of operating a machining system includes comparing one or more features of a cutting tool to information stored on a data chip secured to a tool holder of the cutting tool. The cutting tool is loaded into the machining system, and the information stored on the data chip is compared to cutting tool requirements of a machining program for instructing operation of the machine. When a result of one or more of the comparisons is outside of a predetermined threshold, operation of the machining system is stopped.
