Hi fattybean
No that is not right G54 is one program & G55 is the other that is all you need (No G56 Needed that will not work)
Touch of your tool to the highest point on your part this will be you fliped side let this be say G55 T7 programed Z-.5 now this tool #7 will go & cut .5 off your part
Now flip your part this this will be the lowest side of your part or were you will start from program with a G54 T7 your Z depth is set to the depth that you need in your program
it may be any number to get the job done like Z-1.5 ( You do not touch the tool off in this program you just put the Z depth that you need in your program to get the job done)
This G54 program my only take .5 off the job as well but by fliping your part you need more Z movement it's just what ever you put in your program to get the job done
Just remember the tool 7 was set to the highest side any other settings for your Z movement is all done in your programs
