Doesn't the machine software have a tool library that you can set each tool off the top of the material?
I would look in tool offsets or some other location of the control to define each tools attributes. Cam packages can take the diameter into account to follow a path, but more than likely the length of the tool must be set at the control on the machine in reference to the Z-axis. AKA tool1, tool2, toolxx. This will relate Z zero to the end of each tool and the top of your material.
