Good Morning,

Having now established that the tool setter is faulty on my Haas SL20 and now waiting for where I work to sort out a new one I still need to get work out. I am now getting my head around setting the tools the old fashioned way by touching on each tool in x and z, I have taken the value out of the G54 workshift setting and using the z measure function to establish my z zero. Am I right in thinking that I need to measure the face of every job now whilst keeping the G54 value at zero or is it possible to leave my geometry values as they are and put either a minus or positive value in for the G54. My first instinct tells me that I have to touch on each tool if the length of the workpiece changes.

Thanks
