Run the Fadal tool length utility, measure your tool lengths using a gage block or tool setter on the machine table.

Put that value into V2 of program O9001 (toolsetting_macro.txt).Measure the distance from your spindle nose to the machine table at cold start.It doesn't matter whether this is an edge finder or something like a Haimer 3D sensor as long as its height and diameter do not ever change. You need to have a reference tool in tool position #1. A wiggler, gage pin or simple electronic edge finder will work perfectly as well.Ability to easily use a Haimer 3D sensor or other in-spindle measurement tool.Tool lengths are portable and can also be measured offline using a presetter.Negative Z fixture offsets measured from the spindle face at the Z axis Cold Start position.Positive tool lengths measured from the spindle gage line.Tools only ever need to be measured once.The macros in this package are designed to eliminate these issues and make working with the control much easier. The default fixture offset system also does not account for the length of the tool being used to set the offset, so it will always be incorrect by the length of the tool unless you adjust it manually. The default routines both want to output negative offsets (negative lengths for tools, negative Z axis fixture offsets) which means they don't ever meet in the middle like they should. These macros are designed to make the built-in Fadal fixture and toolsetting routines more useful.
