I have Mach3. I would like to have the same setup as is shown in this video.

He wrote that he is using the turning screenset and he wrote a custom tool change macro that applies a work offset for the appropriate tool.
I am trying to figure out how and where to input the tool offsets in Mach3 to accomplish this.
I learned an aweful lot about how to set up offsets in this video:

The 2nd video above uses a different controller than Mach3 but there's got to be a similar way to do this in Mach3 as well I just have no idea where to start.
