Sorry about the link. Can you see if you right-click on it and "Save Target As..." works? You should end up with file zztouch.wmv which is a Micro$oft format movie.
If you change the tool in the spindle or the material on the table, you run the macro again. The length of the tool or how far sticks out of the spindle is irrelevant for this. The macro does this:
1. Moves Z down until it touches the sensor
2. Resets the Z DRO = 0.000, no movement
3. Adds height of sensor itself, 0.025" in my case
4. Resets DRO = 0.025" - no movement
5. Backs Z in exactly 1".
I'm hoping with this I won't have to worry about what chuck/tool/material I use. I will set my cuts to whatever depth I want to cut in, which will be a negative number. So even if I change the tool in the middle of the job, I can still be sure I will cut in exactly what I need.
Cheers,
