I just have a 3D Taster for top/edge finding and aligning vices etc, well worth the money IMO, especially at the price WNT sell them for.
I have it set via my tool height setter and stored as T100 in the tool table. If I put it in the spindle and call G43H100 then when I bring it down and it zeroes on the surface I set zero in the Z DRO and then all tools in the changer will be spot on for the Z.
Here is the 3D Taster just in case you are unsure what it is.
