As Michael mentioned, If we allow multiple tools with the same number, but
also have an 'active' flag entry for each one, then you can select a
particular tool.
tool | active | offset X | offset Y | etc
1 | no | 1 | 1.5 |
1 | yes | 1.02 | 1.5 |
2 | yes | 2 | 1.25 |
You could either adjust the active column manually or write a tool management
routine to do it automatically.
The important thing is that the tool table can handle the concept.
