Hi Hydro,
I am pleased to hear you have it all running.
Assuming you have home switches you can reference all home then apply the offset to position all axes to the desired position – the Mach3 manual has details of how this is achieved. http://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/
Having said that, I find the easiest (and quickest) way is to make a mechanical template (the dimension between the Z axis and surface of the work) then just use this to set the focus with relation to different thicknesses of work.
