Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Tool Length Offset Macro Program

If you are using a tool setter probe, then this should get you closer to that.
Once you probe your tools, then use any of the probed tools to set your Z Work Offset, make sure your tool height offset is active.
The "Offset" tab is a pretty awesome place for setting work offsets.
They put in a Gage Block Length and a Set Z Offset button that I use to set work offsets when I'm using Mach4. I use a 2in tool setter to get my Z Work offset, so I would put 2.00 in the gage block DRO, make sure my Tool Height Offset was active (there is a toggle button in the top right of the Offset tab) and then press "Set Z". So easy!
