For tool length sensing for non-reproducible tool lengths I use this
scheme:

http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cvs/emc2/nc_files/tool-length-probe.ngc?rev=1.4

It records the length of the first tool ("reference tool") and
considers it 0 tool length offset.  Each subsequent tool is measured
and the difference between the new tool and the reference tool is
set as a TLO with G43.1.  G30 (secondary reference point) is used as
a quick way to move into position over the tool sensing switch.
