Abstract

An apparatus (100), method, system and computer program for machining a workpiece (101). The apparatus comprising: means (102) for securing the apparatus to a workpiece (101); means (103) for detachably mounting a first tool (104) to the apparatus such that the first tool is replaceable with a second tool (105);means (106) for moving a detachably mounted tool; means (107) for controlling the means for moving; and a controller for controlling the means for moving the detachably mounted tool, wherein the controller is configured to cause movement of the second tool, when detachably mounted, that is dependent upon movement performed by the first tool when detachably mounted.
