    Make sure that you put the offset # into the callout during your tool creation.
    IDK your control but you may need a G53 or G28 in your end code.

    G43 H05 D05

    Now, you don't always have to have the offset and diameter numbers be the exact same as the tool number, there are cases where you might use two different offsets on the same tool, but.... in general, you always number the D and H values the same as the tool number.

    Once that specific tool offset is active, then at the end of each tool, and at the end of the program, you put in a G40G49Z0M09 line.
    thanks Brian , I've been editing the G43 line after I post . The end of program was the main concern

    How do you change the tool change in the post processer ? I can see where to change the end of program .
