Gene, Anyway, I strongly suggest you set up home switches and establish axis limits from the home position. I didn't do this for a LONG time on my mill, and was VERY happy with the result when I finally got around to doing it! I use the touch-off button in Axis to set the offsets for various workpieces. I don't use the tool table much. I think on a lathe I'd get all my tools indexed and entered in the tool table, though, as it makes things a lot easier. Then, mostly, you'd only touch off the Z0 of the part, and everything else would be pre-set.
