-put this code in your M5Start macro
-delete all code in M6End macro
-this code Needs A-axis for turn axis of TC
-this code requires that a G91 A360 makes exact one turn on TC
-X/Z axis must be referenced
-X-axis refpos = all way to the right side (away from spindle)
-Z-axis refpos = all way up (away from spindle)
