Hi
At the moment I have a touch plate with a set thickness which I place on my stock and touch it to set the Z zero for my operation. When I change a tool I place the plate again on the material to zero again the next too.
Yet this creates some problems like when material has been removed and now my material top is lower than the original Z height, so I either need to compensate the difference after I zero on the lower height or have a different setup in the cam for the next tool, or some times there is no flat area left to position the plate so I can touch it and I have to position the plate on the table and touch both tools and do calculations to find the correct height etc.
Is there a way to set a touchplate on a fixed location on the table and after I zero my first tool on the part have mach3 touch each next tool on that fixed location and apply the correct Z height on each tool on its own?

Hmm
Didn't know about this screen set and it seems very interesting. I will spend some time looking into it. I don't feel very comfortable thought replacing my whole screen set but I will consider it. Is there any other way that I can do it on the original mach3 screen set?

So I need to change my screenset as it seems, right? I cannot do it on the original screenset?
Jim,
You may want to contact Gerry "GER21" and ask him if he would sell you just the macro for the tool setter instead of his entire screenset or try contacting the authors of the other videos, there is a possibility that they may share their macro code so that you can use the original Mach3 screenset.

Jim,
Take a look at the (6th) sixth post of the attached link:

I can't guarantee it works correctly however it may give you some insight.

You can do anything you want with the original screenset, if you know what you are doing. This thread should have all the info you need.
