first i need to know what kind of holder you have?are you using a collet and just swapping tools?if you have actual holders you could pick them all up at the start and use tool offsets,tool 1 tool 2 and so on even though you manually change them its like having a tool changer so to speak.what soft ware you have,most have tool offsets for multiple tools,if you have no holders you can make up collars with set screws that lock on the tool for a stop agaisnt the collet when you change them,than use tool offsets for each tool,they work well collets usually pull a tool upward so you push the tool in with the stop agaisnt the collet and it pulls the tool up and tight,they repeat fairly well
