I guess the only real negative is it's different than what I normally do at work when I get to play with the CNC's. Mainly the HAAS TL2 lathe. I set all my tools in the Z off the face of the chuck with the G54 set at 0. Then I can set my G54 Z offset with any of the tools and they all relative.
Maybe what I want to do Is similar to the master tool process?
Just trying to keep things the same.
I only have the edge finder lights up when it makes contact. A Haimer is on the wish list. Someday!
