8. Select the Z AXIS column of your work coordinate offset.
9. Jog the Z Axis to the tool set plane. Make sure that the end of the gage tool you are
using just touches the tool set plane. You will touch-off all of your tools on this
surface.
F7.6: Jog the End of the Gage Tool to the Tool Set Plane
10. With the Z Axis column of the work offset used in the program highlighted (G54 in this
example), press [PART ZERO SET].
11. Subtract the length of the master gage tool supplied with the machine from the value
shown in the Z Axis column. Enter this value as the offset in the Z Axis column.
For example, if the Z-Axis work offset is -7.0000 and the master gage tool length is
5.0000, the new Z-Axis work offset is -12.0000.
12. Touch-off each of the tools in your program to the Z set plane to establish their length
offsets.
